Abasiama Ufot, still living in the house of her deceased husband, forms an unexpected spiritual bond with Azell Abernathy, a soft-spoken, church-going carpenter. As their connection deepens, and Abasiama’s house–and soul–become clearer, she comes to understand the true nature of love, sending her off on one last journey through life.
The penultimate piece of Mfoniso Udofia’s nine-part play Ufot Family Cycle, In Old Age comes to ArtsEmerson in partnership with Front Porch Arts Collective as part of a two-year, citywide production of Udofia’s epic in Boston.

Erika Macdonald: Tea TIMEThursday, April 2 at 7:30pm
It’s about tea. It’s about time. F**k off, I’m steeping!
In this 60-minute one-woman show, Erika MacDonald plugs in her electric kettle and makes cup after cup of tea in a way that will change your relationship with time forever... or at least for the hour. At Tea TIME, you’ll be chanting one minute and closing your eyes the next. You’ll cry some, but laugh more. Whistle if you can. Hum when the time comes. Don’t worry, you’ll know.
Ages 18+
