Saydee and Deelores, One act play by Melanie Maria Goodreaux
It's the 1940's in segregated New Orleans. Deelores Delacroy has a last bowl of gumbo with her family before sneaking off the next day with her husband to 'pass for white.' Saydee, the firecracker of the family, confronts her at the farewell dinner and lets everybody know what's really been cooking. Based on a true story, this play captures an insider's sense of Creole culture, humor and the complexities of race that exist in New Orleans.
