Written and performed by Danai Gurira and Nikkole Salter and directed by Robert O'Hara, In The Continuum the play dramatizes the devastating problem of HIV/AIDS among African and African-American women that has reached an all time high both in the US and Africa.
The co-creators of this play (one African and one African-American) felt the need to have a story told from a woman's perspective. The two actresses portray numerous characters in two parallel stories that transform women with HIV/AIDS from statistical victims on news reports to empathetic people who demand compassion and attention.
In The Continuum explores the personal journeys of a married Zimbabwean woman and a 19-year-old girl from South Central Los Angeles, whose hopes and aspirations are forever altered when faced with the realities of HIV/AIDS.
