by **Mojisola Adebayo** (Author)

**Winner of the 2021 Alfred Fagon Award**  
_  
It's a play, a performance, a ritual, about human farming, farming humans, soil and the soul, seeds and cells... nursing the nursery, curing creation, remedies and vaccinations against white supremacist racism; birthing revolution, raising redemption, finding yourself in the forest of futurity, the promise of immortality and the matter of Black lives._

Henrietta Lacks is one of most remarkable people in medical history. Her cells were taken without her or her family's knowledge or permission. Meet Anarcha, Betsey, Lucy and three NHS nurses in the pandemic, each denied their place in history. Now is the time for their incredible legacy to undergo a transformation. To blossom and grow into something beautiful and new.

Mojisola Adebayo's Alfred Fagon Award-winning play _Family Tree_ is a beautifully poetic drama about race, health, the environment, and the incredible legacy of one of the most influential women of modern times.

This edition was published to coincide with the Actors Touring Company co-production with the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry and Brixton House, in March 2023.
