RIDING A PEACOCK – AFRICAN AMERICAN DRAMA SCRIPT
RIDING A PEACOCK is a play about life as it affects two young successful African/American families. One family rises from the “Ghetto,” and the other comes out of the Black elite. The play’s focus is upon an aspiring writer named Joyce Withers. Joyce yearns to make a full time living as a writer, but struggles with how to become one. Her first novel, written when she was a young woman, was aptly entitled, “Riding a Peacock,” signifying a journey to freedom on a bird’s back. For Joyce, writing means freedom and a chance to truly be herself. This play is the journey of how she accomplishes that and how her family grows. As much as it is powerful with interpretations of life, RIDING A PEACOCK is packed with incredibly lively characters and humor. A contemporary African American drama script.
