Soothsayers

By: Nathan Alan Davis

Narrated by: Kalyne Coleman, William Jackson Harper, Jenny Jules, Calvin Leon Smith, Sharon Washington

In this haunting psychological drama, Samantha finds herself trapped in a labyrinth of dreams where the boundary between sleep and wakefulness blurs beyond recognition. In the wake of her beloved Aunt Flo's death, she descends through layers of consciousness, encountering a mysterious Dream Interpreter, her concerned husband Malcolm, and ancestral figures who hold the keys to family secrets long buried. As Samantha navigates these dreamscapes, she confronts her deepest fears about motherhood, identity, and the inherited trauma that flows through generations of women in her family. Nathan Alan Davis weaves a mesmerizing tale, directed by Logan Vaughn, that explores the power of familial bonds, the weight of decisions unmade, and the courage required to face one's true nature.

Who are the frogs?

What is their significance in the story? That was the part that got me confused.

Wanted more!

I really enjoyed Soothsayer. Would have loved more. Great short play. The characters were amazing and the actors were breathtaking.

CAPTIVATING & ENGAGING!!!

Soothsayers is a riveting and timeless story of family, cycles, generational curses/bonds, metaphors and healing. This story was beautifully told and designed. The cast is exceptionally wonderful and dynamic; from the different characters to the sound design being woven seamlessly. Fearless direction and creative risks are intricate to creating an audible masterpiece and Soothsayers delivered that + more.
MORE PLEASE!!!! Wonderful work!

The incoherence of stress

No spoilers here. Just want to say that we can all relate to a play in which our protagonist contemplates an upcoming fork in her road and knows there's no going back once she chooses. Voices from her life ring in her mind and dreams as she seeks reassurance, guidance, shelter, comfort, understanding. I love the acting and the deep messages conveyed in the casual tone of the script. I loved it!
