"The Predicament" is a poignant play set in a tight-knit black-Caribbean community, focusing on the Mattis and Messias families. Led by the spiritual matriarch Mama Barbara Gladys Carnegie, the families grapple with internal and external challenges jeopardizing their stability. Dave Messias faces a turbulent marriage and engages in risky activities, while his sister Andrea navigates conflicting familial responsibilities and personal happiness. Roger Mattis, ambitious but immature, adds to the family's complexity. Gossip and judgment from Beverly Roach intensify tensions. The play delves into family dynamics, personal struggles, and the repercussions of choices, guided by Mama's wisdom. "Predicament" explores love, betrayal, and resilience, weaving a compelling narrative within a troubled community, blending drama, introspection, and humor in a rich portrayal of human experiences.
