Determined to fulfill her grandmother’s dying wish, first-generation Haitian American Simone returns to the island eager to reunite with her entrepreneur cousin, the Haitian-born and raised Gigi, and reconnect with her roots. When misconceptions and misunderstandings lead to dangerous mistakes both cousins are forced to reckon with what they know—and don’t know—about their family and themselves in this heartwarming and timely new play from Tony Award-nominated writer Dominique Morisseau. Hailed as a New York Times Critic’s Pick, Bad Kreyòl is a life-affirming celebration of bold women, ancestry, and the universal language of love.
