Broken Promises is a stage play based on the main characters from the novel Breaking the Chain written by Frankie Berry Wise.
It centers on the Jackson family who are poor mulattoes struggling through many obstacles such as poverty, homosexuality, molestation, and murder.
The main matriarch, Sarah Jackson, was abandoned by her white mother and given to a black family that abused her. Around the age of eleven, she was again ushered off to live with an older white man who fathered her four children--John, Cleo, Lilly, and Rose.
Sarah is determined for her family to rise above the chains of misery that bind them. When her four children fail to graduate from high school or go to college, she turns her hopes onto her granddaughter, Iris. Will Iris be the one to bring them out of poverty? Or will her dreams also fall through the cracks?
Read the cast of characters, plots, settings, and dialogues as the Jackson family journey through acts and scenes of their hopes, dreams, and broken promises.
