Ufot Family Cycle

A cluster of shimmering silver poles evokes the stand of trees where ancestors and living family members meet in “The Grove,” on stage at the Calderwood Pavilion of the Boston Center for the Arts through March 9 in a world premiere production by the Huntington Theater Company.

Playwright Mfoniso Udofia has been telling the stories of her characters in the Ufot family since 2009. Now, for the first time, her Ufot Family Cycle of nine plays will be performed consecutively at The Huntington over the course of two years.
