The Salt Lesson embarks on a powerful exploration of complex themes. The play follows a young Black man grappling with his estranged white father who's suffering from dementia and has tragically forgotten him (the son). This moving narrative delves into the complexities of race within an interracial family, exploring issues of faith, fatherhood, restoration, racism, reparations, land restitution, mental illness, belonging and family conflict through the unique lens of a dementia patient and his abandoned son. The play asks profound questions: What does it truly mean to be forgotten? What does it mean to forget?
