Thunder Knocking On The Door

June 14 @ 7:30 pm

$25 – $30

Written by Keith Glover

Directed by Guinea Bennett-Price

Thunder Knocking on the Door, a “bluesical” deemed by critics as “the tastiest, bluesiest score in recent memory,” is written by Keith Glover with music by Keb’ Mo’. The piece takes place at the crossroads of “here and there.” In the mythical tale, Marvell Thunder, a mysterious shapeshifter, challenges Glory, a blind songstress, to a magical duel on the Delta Blues guitar. This delightful new musical will run in June 2024 at The Undermain Theater. Play off the Page’s Mary Aalgaard says

This blusical has everything: family dynamic, a love story, a mythical character, soul-searching, and some of the best music I’ve ever heard.

Keith Glover is from Bessemer, Ala. He is a member of The New Dramatist Playwrights Organization and a recipient of a Pew Charitable Fellowship grant in 1996. His first plays include Dancing on Moonlight (New York Shakespeare Festival, 1995), Coming of the Hurricane (Denver Center Theatre Company, 1994, Penumbra Theatre Company, 1995, Arena Stage in Washington, D.C., 1996) and Thunder Knocking on the Door, a blusical tale of rhythm and blues, was produced by the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, Baltimore’s Center Stage, The Dallas Theatre Center and Yale Repertory Theatre during the 1996-97 season.
