Overview

Red Potatoes Jubilee delves into the violent and transformative event in 1825, when the town's power structure shifted after a massacre at Tate Farm. This event led to the rise of Black leadership and the establishment of Ransom Wood's unique customs and origins of Red Potatoes Jubilee. The multi-generational, Southern family saga set in the town of Ransom Wood, centering around its annual celebration, follows Shawnn and Cherria Draybin, current possessors of the legendary Tavern, as they prepare for the Bicentennial Red Potatoes Jubilee-a festival that has shaped the town's identity for 200 years. The story weaves together themes of family, tradition, trauma, and resilience, exploring the complex relationships and histories of the Draybin family and their community. The story is told through a blend of present-day family drama and historical reenactments, with Shawnn and Cherria navigating marriage, parenthood, and the responsibilities of being ""Red and Tae""-the couple entrusted with the Tavern and the Jubilee. The Bicentennial Jubilee becomes a stage for the revelation of family secrets, culminating in a dramatic reenactment that blurs the line between performance and reality. The narrative moves between past and present, using reenactments and storytelling for connection. It features vivid, sometimes raw depictions of family life, community rituals, and sexual relationships. Red Potatoes Jubilee is ultimately a story about the power of tradition, the burden of history, and the possibility of renewal. It is both a celebration and a reckoning-a portrait of a family and a town learning to live with its past while forging a new future.
