Lynn Nottage
THE STORY: FABULATION is a social satire about an ambitious and haughty African-American woman, Undine Barnes Calles, whose husband suddenly disappears after embezzling all of her money.
Pregnant and on the brink of social and financial ruin, Undin
"Robustly entertaining… in charting the social fall and moral rise of Undine Barnes Calles… Fabulation subverts comic and sentimental glibness with punchy social insights and the firecracker snap of unexpected humor. A sense of blurred lines between aspiration and actuality is given ingeniously varied life throughout."
— The New York Times
"Outrageously hilarious… Fabulation or, The Re-Education of Undine… will keep you laughing from start to finish. It takes on stereotypes about race, class and gender, yet remains poignantly transformative."
— DC Metro Theater Arts
