    THE HOUSE THAT WILL NOT STAND at Invictus Theatre Company

    THE HOUSE THAT WILL NOT STAND
    by Marcus Gardley

    In early nineteenth-century New Orleans, widowed mother Beatrice struggles to manage her headstrong daughters after the death of her second husband. But as the matriarch takes her place as head of the household, a more ominous transfer of power transpires in the region. The French-owned Louisiana Territory is about to be acquired by the United States, threatening the liberty of the free people of color residing on the land. A gripping examination of intersecting captivities, THE HOUSE THAT WILL NOT STAND follows four women in mourning as they look ahead to an uncertain and haunting future.

    Running time: Approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes plus one 15-minute intermission.
