  • Anna Tatelman: 53% Of by Steph Del Rosso

    I saw this play at Sound Theatre a few weeks ago. Steph Del Rosso does a wonderful job in each vignette of both lending her characters compassion while picking apart their hypocrisies with absolutely no mercy. Neither the left nor the right comes off as "the good guys" in this piece, which is an admirable and daring choice for our highly polarized country.

    This is a play that is intensely hilarious but doesn't pull its punches for a moment. Deeply theatrical while also all too real, 53% Of implicates white women - and not just those who are part of the statistic the title refers to. This play knows theatre audiences and stares them right in the face (quite literally at one point). I was honored to see a reading of this play at the Kennedy Center, and it floored me then. It deserves to floor so, so many more.

    Theatre can't just be fluff spectacles and when it does tackle serious topics it can not just be about white people learning to not be racist and saving people of color. The stage sorely needs plays like this that are about messy conversations that need to be had. I'm finding it hard to recall a play that delves into white guilt as inventive and with as much courage as Steph Del Rosso does with this piece.
