BEFORE IT HITS HOME by Cheryl West
BEFORE IT HITS HOME by Cheryl West, follows the last few months in the life of Wendal Bailey, an African-American man in his early 30's. After nearly dying of AIDS, he comes home to his extended family - his mother, father, brother and 12-year-old son for a festive evening that turns into a disaster. Shortly after this debacle, the only support and love he finds comes from an unexpected source -his previously stern, disapproving and homophobic father.
A Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, Multicultural Playwright's Festival Award, and Helen Hayes-Charles McArthur Award winning play.
This prize-winning work is one of the few AIDS plays written from a perspective other than that of an affluent, white, homosexual male. - The Literature, Arts, & Medicine Database
