Now in her golden years, Ufot matriarch Abasiama takes center stage in ‘In Old Age’
Published 3 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
The years have flown by for Abasiama Ufot -- the once student-immigrant is now an octogenarian. At 80, she still reigns as the matriarch of the Nigerian-American family, but she is also content to live a quiet, reflective life alone in Worcester, Massachusetts. That’s where we find Abasiama in the eighth of the nine-part Ufot Family cycle of plays: ” In Old Age.” Playwright Mfoniso Udofiya and actress Ebony Marshall-Oliver join us to discuss the penultimate chapter of the cycle.
