Treemonisha

Treemonisha takes place in September 1884 on a former slave plantation in an isolated forest, between Texarkana, Texas (Joplin's childhood town) and the Red River in Arkansas. Treemonisha is a young freedwoman. After being taught to read by a white woman, she leads her community against the influence of conjurers, who are shown as preying on ignorance and superstition. Treemonisha is abducted and is about to be thrown into a wasps' nest when her friend Remus rescues her. The community realizes the value of education and the liability of their ignorance before choosing her as their teacher and leader.

Imoinda : Story of Slavery and Love

Imoinda – A Story of Love and Slavery is very loosely based on an original short novel by the 17th Century author Aphra Behn titled Oroonoko: or The Royal Slave a True History. In this version slavery is seen through the eyes of two lovers Oko and Imoinda. Prince Oroonoko (Oko) the son of an African King falls in love with Imoinda, the daughter of that King’s top general. The King has promised Imoinda to the Chief, as a gesture of peace with his old enemy. Oko refuses to accept the King’s will, resulting in a fight between Oko and the Chief. The King breaks up the fight and both Imoinda and Oko are sold as slaves and sent to the Americas.
