Digging in the Dark by Pearl Cleage / by Team Keen

Listen to the full thrilling audio play now!

Keen Company is proud to debut a newly commissioned audio play by acclaimed playwright Pearl Cleage.

Digging in the Dark takes audiences to a moonless night in the woods outside Atlanta, where a woman awaits her scheming brother’s arrival. He thinks he’s coming to claim a valuable family heirloom, but she’s not to be underestimated. Listen in as one family excavates generational wounds to settle an old score before sunrise.

Pearl Cleage (Flyin’ West and Oprah Book Club selection What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day) is an award-winning playwright, bestselling novelist, published poet, and popular newspaper columnist. An incredibly multifaceted talent, Keen was proud to bring Cleage’s celebrated play Blues for An Alabama Sky to New York as part of our 20th Season in the spring of 2020.
