THE BEATROOTS is a country comedy played out in concert. The work reflects a time when communities are disintegrating, challenged by individualism. It is a tale that extends from a band crisis to the worldwide political crisis.
The work portrays the family band The BeatRoots. Originally, they played with the brothers’ mother, Mama Nellie, at parties and local gatherings. But after Mama Nellie’s death, they start redefining their musical expression and ambitions, and this threatens togetherness and the band’s very existence.
