WORLD PREMIERE


Our celebrated Ufot Family Cycle concludes its epic, citywide, two-and-a-half-year, nine-play journey where it began — here at The Huntington — with Mfoniso Udofia’s rousing folk opera Adia & Clora Snatch Joy.  


In the marshes of South Carolina, Clora Abernathy opens her front door to a stranger from Massachusetts — Adiaha Ufot — and something unnamed stirs within them. Both are dutiful daughters who’ve devoted their lives to their parents – but as the sparks fly, a life-changing question takes shape: What might happen if they dare to be good to themselves? To wholly experience desire, pleasure, and joy as grown-ass women — for the very first time.  


Soaringly composed for a cappella voices by Michael Ellis Ingram, Adia & Clora Snatch Joy breaks new ground while bringing the Ufot Family Cycle to a joyous, musical finale. Awoye Timpo, who brilliantly directed The Grove, returns to helm this landmark production that you can enjoy whether it’s the first play you are seeing in the Ufot Family Cycle or your ninth.
