For Your (Re)Consideration returns in 2022 with a new stage adaptation of The Woman of Colour, a novel published anonymously in 1808. Written immediately after the abolition of the British Slave trade, the story follows a biracial heiress on her travels from Jamaica to England to marry as a condition of her father’s will. Like the novel, Ghostlight’s staged reading will explore the interconnections of race, gender and class, as well as examining cultural identity and colonial power.

The staged reading takes place at Berger Park Cultural Center (The Downey House) in Edgewater at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 11, 2022. Tickets are pay-what-you-will, with an average donation of $10. By donating more, if you are able, you help offset the cost for those who can’t afford to give.
