Recommendations of White Ally

  • Shaun Leisher: White Ally

    A play that couldn't be more relevant. We know that something is off about Wyatt throughout the play but nothing can prepare us for this ending that audiences will be thinkin about and discussing long after seeing this play. Williams has created a conversation that so many white people that consider themselves allies have thought about but pray they never have to face. This play is going to make a lot of people uncomfortable like all theatre should.

  • Cheryl Bear: White Ally

    A powerful look at race and allyship in the responsibility to move forward to a society where all are treated equally. Well done.

  • Ken Kaissar: White Ally

    This is a very intelligent and powerful piece of work. The writing moves beautifully on the page. Very complex and well constructed. This play will inpire lots of dialogue about anti-racism.

    Anyone who considers themselves anti-racist, white allies to Black and Brown communities should read this complex, nuanced exploration of privilege, guilt, and allyship. Williams asks the question "What does true allyship look like?" and offers an answer that is complicated, astute, and perfectly illustrative of why moving the barometer towards a truly just and equitable society is so fraught and wrapped up in the ways white people are reluctant to relinquish power. Is it enough to use your power and privilege to help others? The discussions are potent, and yet the humans feel so real...
