- Blues lament that opens
The Quadroon and the Dove
Deep in the bayou,
when childs is born,
and secrets silence,
the pact is sworn.
Womens lie with men forlorn,
hearts and bodies lay tattered, torn.
You best be watchin’,
take care, no scorn,
cuz shrouded bonds brings much to mourn.
"With plays that are intoxicating and mysterious, Donaghy has a gift for finding the truth that lurks below our eccentricities."
— Doug Wright, Pulitzer Prize & Tony Award Winning Playwright
