Swarthmore College Department of Theater presents HOLIDAY, by Amaechi Abuah '21

<h3>About the Show</h3>The Swarthmore College Department of Theater presents a virtual staged reading of HOLIDAY, an Honors Thesis in Playwriting by Theater major Amaechi Abuah '21. After a lengthy stay abroad, a son returns home to attempt to fix the broken family he left behind. But when his step-brother threatens to reveal a dark secret from their past he has a bitter choice to make; whether to accept the reality -- or the fantasy. Set in contemporary Abuja, Nigeria, HOLIDAY offers an unflinching look at both a family's self-undoing and the legacy of global cultural colonialism in a Nigerian middle-class home. This staged reading is made possible by the generous support of the Honors Program.Runtime: 75 minutes, followed by a talk back with the creative team <h3>Cast &amp; Crew</h3>Featuring: Sarah Branch '17, Azikiwea Green '21, Thandiwe McMillan '20, Marcellus McQueen, and Vanessa Ogbuehi. Directed by Vanessa Ogbuehi, with Video Editing by Grace Dumdaw '21. Faculty Advisors: Allen Kuharski &amp; Adriano Shaplin. Poster by Sam Thuman. Questions?
