Combining oral history with magical realism and poetry, Honeypot bears witness to the real-life stories of queer Black women throughout the American South. In this new adaptation for the stage of Johnson’s award-winning creative non-fiction book, women from all walks of life recount their experiences on topics ranging from coming out and falling in love to mother/daughter relationships, religion, sexuality, brutality, and political activism—richly and dynamically revealing the complexity of identity.
