Her Portmanteau at Boston Court Performing Arts Center

A family rifles through their literal and emotional baggage in this taut and poignant drama about relatives, legacy, and connection. This West Coast premiere, brilliantly penned by first generation Nigerian-American storyteller Mfoniso Udofia, chronicles the triumphs and struggles of a tenacious family matriarch and two daughters. The mother and one of her daughters have called the United States home for many years. And the other daughter's arrival raises heart-wrenching questions about the power of place, family bonds, and how we define our relationships over space and time.
