←Recommendations of Well-Intentioned White People

This play does a wonderful job at re-centering the movements for social change back to the people these movements are actually supposed to be about. It calls out our white apologetic liberal friends for their unhelpful habits and shows the consequences those habits has on the marginalized people.

I loved this play the second I started reading it. Not only does this play give a frank view of liberal racism, but it also centers on queer characters of color, including a trans man! Hooray for intersectionality!

"Protesting is the new brunch for white people." Tenure's the carrot, and well intentioned white people are the stick -- white people wielding white privilege like a sledge-hammer to smash everything around them into a shape they like, usually in the name of racial solidarity. And there's an actual, real live Becky in the piece (though she goes by Mara). This play is taut and tense and funny, frightening at times, somewhat booze-soaked, and really good. Highly recommended!

This play packs a punch--of reality, self-examination, pragmatism, and idealism--in a trio of strong, funny, relatable characters who are able to convey the difficulties of trying to navigate the current climate. I'm thrilled it's getting a world premiere at such a prominent theater and feel confident that's only the beginning. It's wonderful work!
