Since Africa

Since Africaaf Mia McCullough
Bag om Since Africa

SINCE AFRICA chronicles the relationship between a Dinka refugee from Southern Sudan and three Americans - a North Shore socialite, her daughter, and an African American Deacon - who help him acclimate to Chicago's unfamiliar urban surroundings. A look at American culture through the eyes of an African, this play explores the tensions between blacks and whites, Africans and African Americans, the devout and the non-religious. "... a play of culture shocks and culture clashes, has you reexamining the everyday patterns of the America you take for granted ... many flashes of radiance but a subtle through-line." -Howard Shapiro, The Philadelphia Inquirer "McCullough uses the characters' relationships with Ater to explore such big themes as cultural imperialism, the persistence of ritual and the human cost of both social isolation and the need to belong." -James Hebert, The San Diego Union Tribune "McCullough has written a sensitive and deeply thoughtful play." -Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times
