An “I Am Soul” Residency Limited Presentation
National Black Theatre (NBT) presents the public presentation of Black Mother Lost Daughter (BMLD) written by 2020-2024 NBT Playwright-in-Residence Fedna Jacquet (Ain’t No Mo, Civic Duty) and directed by Tony Award nominee Stevie Walker-Webb (Ain’t No Mo).
Summary
In life, Queen painted vivid portraits that captured the truth of her subjects—but when she is killed by police, her sister,Princess, hopes to keep Queen’s memory alive and their mother afloat. This searing and haunted play asks us
to consider the gap between justice and responsibility. Intimate and emotional, BMLD shows how a national reckoning echoes in the lives of three women.
The full cast features Fedna Jacquet, Tom O’Neil (Boardwalk Empire), Ebony Marshall-Oliver (Ain’t No Mo, Chicken & Biscuits), and Margaret Odette (The Convent, Sehnsucht).
Creative Direction & Content Development
Malik crafted the media plan for our BTS social media rollout including production photography, videography, and interviews of the cast and playwright. The goal was to highlight the process of workshopping a production in real-time with your audience.
