For years Sister Margaret Alexander has moved her Harlem congregation with a
mixture of personal charisma and ferocious piety. But when Margaret's
estranged husband, a scapegrace jazz musician, comes home to die, she is in
danger of losing both her standing in the church and the son she has tried to
keep on the godly path.
The Amen Corner is a play about
faith and family, about the gulf between black men and black women and black
fathers and black sons. It is a scalding, uplifting, sorrowful and exultant
masterpiece of the modern American theater.
