The Blood Quilt

While Lincoln Center Theater presents Ayad Akhtar's McNeal in its Broadway venue, it is devoting its Off Broadway house to the New York premiere of a play by another recent Pulitzer Prize winner: Katori Hall's 2015 drama about four half-sisters who gather in Georgia to sew a quilt in honor of their late mother, but soon wind up testing the limits of their family bond—especially after the dead woman's will is read. Resident Director Lileana Blain-Cruz (The Skin of Our Teeth) directs a cast of five women: Crystal Dickinson, Mirirai, Adrienne C. Moore, Lauren E. Banks and Susan Kelechi Watson.
