How wonderful to read a piece about a front-page issue where the characters aren’t mouthpieces or opportunities for the author to lecture, but three-dimensional people. Involving and surprising; even the reversals and surprises that the author promises provide real opportunities for thought beyond the shock factor. Beth Kander takes the harder road less traveled with these characters, and the play is richer for it.
