The Old Globe has announced the cast and creative team for its new production of Danai Gurira’s Familiar, directed by Edward Torres, and running January 26-March 3 on the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage, with opening night set for Thursday, January 31.

The play is described as follows: “It’s winter in Minnesota, and an immigrant Zimbabwean family is preparing for the wedding of their eldest daughter. But when the bride insists on observing roora, a traditional bride-price ceremony, it opens a deep rift in the household. Rowdy and affectionate, Familiar pitches tradition against assimilation among the members of one devoted family. Which will prove stronger: the customs they keep…or the secrets they’ve kept buried?” Via Theatermania
