Winner of 1996 Louisiana Native Voices & Visions Playwriting Award, Louisiana Division of the Arts Theater Fellow Award
Titled from the Covenant to Noah following the Great Flood, Tant que Durera la Terre (“As Long as the Earth Lasts”) captures late nineteenth-century life on the storm-ravaged Louisiana coast. Based on historical narratives of the Great October Storm of 1893, the play follows the survival of Prussian oysterman John-Federique and his family as their French-speaking village of Cheniere Caminada is washed from existence. Joie du vie, tragedy, and resurrection make this award-winning play one not to be missed.
