Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Toni Morrison's first novel comes to life at the Wells Theatre.

'What is my purpose in life?' is a question asked by many people as they ponder the reasons for their existence. Finding one's raison d'etre could be the ever-elusive challenge, and should you never discover it, you are in good company.
