The play takes place in the antebellum south representing several eras of our past and present. Hepthesput, (Young Negress) is the new wet nurse to the way-too-old-to-be-breast- feeding, Lil Massa. In a misfired attempt to poison him to death, she instead poisons Miss Anne, (Mistress of the House) and her daughter, Lil Annie with a madness potion.
