Produced to great acclaim off-Broadway in 1979 by The Negro Ensemble Company, Home transferred to Broadway, where it played for an impressive 288 performances and was nominated for two Tony Awards in 1980 (Best Play and Best Actor). This brilliantly inventive, lyrically expressive play deals joyfully with the coming of age of a young black man, Cephus Miles, from rural North Carolina. From beginning to end, Cephus never loses his joyous goodwill, his indomitable spirit and the conviction that one day his quest for fulfillment will be rewarded.
