In many ways, this play is about a symbolic gesture that is too little too late, but Johnson finds a more deft balance between anger and hope by the play's end. This is wonderful work that deserves many performances!

A whip-smart, deeply-felt rail against systemic racism, spanning decades and shining the brightest light on one of America's darkest historical chapters, linking the Chinese Exclusion Act to now, and the future. Toy Johnson's characters pull us in effortlessly, ask for empathy, in this beautifully-crafted triptych. As we reckon with a heartbreaking rise in hate crimes against our AAPI communities, we need a play like this to ring through, a clarion call for justice.

A powerful look at a piece of political history that isn't talked about as much as it should be. What an important play--especially now. Produce this and produce it often!
