WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In Debbie Tucker Green's Olivier Award winning play Born Bad, "Dawta says it's the truth, but other family members remember differently." At once epic and domestic, laced with humor and told with inventive form, this explosive drama follows one family trying to make sense of their past.
Told with humor and inventive form, Born Bad was performed to great acclaim in the UK winning the Olivier Award for Best Newcomer in a Play. Soho Rep is proud to present the American Premiere.
