THE HOUSE THAT WILL NOT STAND, By Marcus Gardley

Invictus Theater Company presents THE HOUSE THAT WILL NOT STAND, by Marcus Gardley, a former playwright-in-residence at Chicago's Victory Gardens Theatre.

Gardley's drama, inspired by Federico Garcia Lorca's THE HOUSE OF BERNARDA ALBA, is set in 1813 New Orleans, as the French-owned Louisiana Territory is about to be acquired by the United States, threatening the liberty of the free people of color residing on the land. A young woman skilled in the art of voodoo and the appearance of a ghost play into this story set during a very real, but little-known and disturbing chapter of United States history.

This play is directed by Aaron Reese Boseman.
