I have read this play a couple of times and even wrote an essay on it for a class assignment. This is a perfect two-hander that isn’t afraid to call out the bias we have within ourselves no matter what side you’re on. It is critical in how it portrays its two characters, but they are given so much detail and nuance for actors to explore and to paint a proper picture on what race relations looks like in a Black Lives Matter world.

I saw this at the Seattle Public Theatre last month and consider it to be one of the best plays I've seen this theatre season. The script brings up a host of complex political topics (passive activism and intersectionality, to name just a couple) through the lens of one very specific couple's individual identities and personal relationship. This wonderfully challenges the audience to consider these issues in relation to their own lives, without ever beating said audience over the head.

No, I have not yet seen a production of this play. Yet I was fortunate in being blessed with the sound mind to read & enjoy it. The play speaks to our time with a clear and defining voice. Sweet, gently melodramatic and ultimately tragic, with 2 vivid and dimensioned characters who seem effortlessly realized. Mr. Harrison David Rivers clearly has a distinctive voice. I look forward to reading/seeing more of his work.
