Berkeley Rep proudly presents the world premiere of a new play commissioned from an Oakland native: The House that will not Stand by Marcus Gardley captures a single, steamy day for seven women in New Orleans. In 1836, white men in that city often live openly with their black Creole lovers. Yet wealth and freedom may not protect Beartrice when her man mysteriously dies…or conceal old secrets when another handsome bachelor calls on her daughters. Inspired by Lorca and directed by Patricia McGregor, The House that will not Stand is gripping family drama—sensuous, humorous, uplifting, heartbreaking—told in a rich and lyrical river of words.
