THE HOUSE THAT WILL NOT STAND is a spellbinding drama set in New Orleans in the early 1800s. In the heat of the summer, Louisiana passes from France to the United States. On the eve of the transfer, in a house in mourning, freedom hangs in the balance for Beartrice Albans, a steely widow, and her three eligible daughters, all free women of color. Inspired by Federico García Lorca’s The House of Bernarda Alba, Marcus Gardley‘s lyrical, nuanced play, navigate the complexities of race, power, and desire in a society where freedom ain’t free.
