Come My Beloved
Emma is writing and directing a new piece about the intersection of jewish and black communities during three time periods in Detroit. The Working Theater will present a staged reading of the brand new piece on April 18th, 2016 starring Francesca Choy-Kee, Justin Weaks, Caitlin Morris, Emily Shoolin, Michael Micalizzi and Hannah Hodson.
Come My Beloved is a new play about race, intimacy, and Detroit, Michigan. The play chronicles one Friday night in the lives of three Black and Jewish couples, based on one real family: communists Solomon and Sophie (1932), Noah, a PhD student, and Susan, a classical violinist passing as white (1972), and Maya and Julia, recently-relocated Brooklynites (2012). Through glimpses into lives of these three couples, Come My Beloved explores the downfall and resurgence of one of America’s most important cities and the vastly different trajectories of two communities within it.
