Synopsis

In The Ripple, The Wave That Carried Me Home, a woman reflects on her family’s involvement in the fight for racial equality in swimming pools during the civil rights movement. As she navigates her personal memories and the broader historical context, the play delves into themes of generational trauma, resilience, and the ongoing struggle for justice.
