Synopsis
The play follows the tale of Isela. Betrothed to Fernando, a man she doesn't love, she is devoted to Cris, a man who stole her heart and died trying to win her hand. When Cris' soul possesses Isela on the eve of her wedding, a Pandora's box full of secrets, lies, betrayal, and hoodoo is opened, and nothing will ever be the same. An adaptation of A Dyybuk set in depression-era Watts, and performed at the Mafundi Auditorium at the Youth Opportunities High School. Cornerstone had previously worked in Watts for its cycle there, in 1994-5, and then again during the Faith Based Cycle in 2003.
