Webb's play introduces us to Rashad and Genesis on what should be one of the happiest days of their lives, but their joy quickly unravels when ground-shifting accusations from the past resurface. The work was originally developed at the New Colony in Chicago, which presented the world premiere at the Den Theatre in January 2018.
