synopsis
Set in a boys' home in South Carolina, Javon Johnson's Homebound is a play about four black teenage boys, Spit, Smoke, Kane and Raymond, and their search for a place within the world. A true ensemble play, Homebound weaves the individual stories of these outcasts and creates a world with different rules, where we, the audience, are taken on a journey of self-determination. As we venture into this environment, of which most know nothing of, we understand that at the heart of all people are the same questions: who am I? And if I leave, will anyone notice? Through this captivating, funny and poignant dialogue, we witness the true nature and importance of fraternity, family and faith.
