The Carelessness of Love 

Written by Michael Dinwiddie

Directed by Adrienne Williams

Angelina Grimké has laid plans to leave her overbearing father and escape to a new life with her lover Mary Burrill. Anna Julia, a close family friend, complicates the story by introducing a young man who she hopes will alter Angelina’s desires. As love unravels the threads of the most carefully plotted deceptions, no one can live happily ever after once the truth is laid bare.

This reading is estimated at 90 minutes, with one intermission.

For decades, Crossroads Theatre has been a sanctuary for some of the world's most celebrated and decorated playwrights including Ntozake Shange, Anna Devere Smith, Richard Wesley, and Samm Art-Williams. This year marks the 35th season of the Genesis Festival of New Plays and another exciting year of ground breaking work.
