    What a powerful piece of a not that distant future where the tables have turned and women of color rule the House and the Senate. In this world, white supremacists try to cover their former acts, past affiliations, and ugly beliefs. Is it too late? Most likely. JESSIE has certainly created a short play that will have audiences talking.

    This has been in my library since I joined NPX, so glad I gave this one a read today. Jessie Salsbury created a moving piece about consequences and how sometimes it is too late to change.

    A vision of the future so close, yet unlike any I've seen before. Salsbury is able to create a fascinating world with the simplest of exposition, allowing us to feel as though we are experiencing a small part of a much larger national story. Salsbury astutely avoids any easy answers and comforting platitudes, and even the characters' supposed catharsis is met with suspicion. This is a brave, thought-provoking, and riveting piece that I hope to see onstage soon.
