Petronia Paley is a force in this one-woman show tracing the threads of Africa as they coil through her sense of womanhood, haunt clandestine Elizabethan romances, empower the black power beat generation, and ultimately begin to unravel one woman's grip on reality. Perceptive, smart, and brave, On the Way to Timbuktu is a poetic journey through the life and consciousness of a black intellectual woman as she interrogates race, gender, sexuality and power.
