Fayetteville, NC – This February, the Gilbert Theater in Fayetteville, NC, will showcase “In the Blood,” a powerful drama by Suzan-Lori Parks. Under the direction of Ayana Washington from Book Black Women Inc., the play is set to transform the stage into a riveting narrative of poverty and societal neglect.

“In the Blood” is a contemporary take on The Scarlet Letter, where audiences follow the heart-wrenching journey of Hester La Negrita, a mother struggling beneath the weight of poverty and systemic failure. The New York Times praises the play for its compelling storytelling, marking it as an unmissable experience.

Running from February 2nd to 18th, with weekend and weekday performances, this production promises to leave a lasting impact. Given the play’s mature themes, it caters to an adult audience.

Tickets, priced at $20, are available for purchase, with special rates for students, military, and seniors. Interested attendees can secure their seats at www.gilberttheater.com/box-office. For inquiries, the theater’s contact information is readily accessible.

“In the Blood” not only offers a night of profound theater but also ignites a conversation about the overlooked struggles within modern communities. The Gilbert Theater’s staging of this play is a testament to their commitment to thought-provoking and socially relevant performances.
