“A captivating story that’s intimate, funny, and heartbreaking in equal measure.”
– The New Yorker
Mama’s up early to prepare the perfect stew for a very important community meal. As the day rolls on, tempers go from a simmer to a boil, and secrets rise to the surface for three generations of Tucker women. When the violence hovering around the periphery of their lives begins to intrude upon the sanctity of the kitchen, mothers and daughters wrestle with loss and hope in this hilarious, haunting drama.
Check out our interviews with STEW playwright Zora Howard and director Claudine Mboligikpelani Nako!
