Synopsis:
Two years after the 9/11 attacks, Mimi Okamoto is returning home to her native Far Rockaway, Queens, for the first time in 15 years. She is lost on the subway-alone in a train car with Jackson, a young hip-hop kid, who fiercely guards his privacy. Both are feeling the suspicious shadows of a post-9/11 NYC and find surprising refuge in each other. the Mourning after was first written as a ten-minute play for the 24-hour a-Train Plays series on September 11, 2003. This is the first public reading of the expanded play.
