Berta, Berta is a gripping tale that tells the story of a pair of lovers’ reunion, swelling from a quarrelsome conjuring of the past to an impassioned plot to escape their impending fate. The play is a fictional origin story of the real prison chain-gang song "Berta, Berta" which originated on Parchman Farm, Mississippi State Penitentiary. Set in the heart of the American South, Chéri's writing delves deep into the complexities of love, loss, and the ties that bind us together.
