The First Breeze of Summer

Events that transpire on one hot June weekend and flashbacks to the memories of the visiting grandmother as a young woman

She recalls the three men, two black and one white, who are the fathers of her three children

A resourceful woman, she feels some regrets, no shame and feels she has had a useful life

Lou, an oversensitive boy who is about to graduate from high school, worships the grandmother

The resolution of his problems and his acceptance of his sexuality and blackness form the backbone of the play
