Decades ago, Anna Campbell shocked the theater world with her
sensational and controversial work, Naked Wilson. Challenging the lack
of female voices in August Wilson's 10-play Century Cycle, her
interpretation proved to be revolutionary and dangerous. Returning to
the United States after a self-imposed exile, Anna is to be honored
with a performance of her seminal work at the National Black Theatre
Festival. The trouble is, the producers have cast a younger and
less-experienced actress in Anna's original role and now the two must
find common ground in order to move forward with the show and with
their own lives. Novelist and playwright Pearl Cleage's
"crowd-pleasing" (Atlanta Journal Constitution) comedy is the ultimate
showdown. Will Anna reclaim her fame or bow out gracefully for the
next generation?
