Dessa Rose is based on the book of the same name by Sherley Anne Williams (1986). The show received its New York premiere at Lincoln Center in 2005. With book and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and music by Stephen Flaherty, it tells the story of a young black woman (a runaway slave) and a young white woman (an abandoned mother) and their journey to acceptance in the antebellum South, as they tell their story to their grandchildren.
