Dominique Morisseau Books

Navigating the complexities of class, race, and family ties, two generations of sisters face their own challenges on Mud Row in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Elsie aspires to elevate her status through marriage, while Frances actively participates in the Civil Rights movement. Years later, estranged sisters Regine and Toshi confront their familial legacy when Regine inherits their grandmother's house, forcing them to reconcile their differences and shared history.

Follow Me to Nellie's takes place in the home of the infamous Nellie Jackson's, where a hopeless blues singer is looking for a way out, a brave freedom fighter is looking for a way in, and a house of downtrodden women are looking for a new day. In 1955 Mississippi, during the reign of segregation, the price of attaining their dreams may cost them everything. Dominique Morisseau's play takes a harrowing look at those who risked everything so that all Americans could be afforded the opportunity to vote.
