A Zoom play that actually makes effective use of the form (though it works in front of a live audience as well). What starts as a sex comedy ends with a beautiful moment of human connection, a moment of hope transcending horror. As usual with Scott's work, his characters speak with a hyper-intelligence that weaves the intellectual with the poetic. A healthy dose of pop culture jokes and sexual innuendo entertain and at the same time make the impact of the heavy subject matter more acute.

This beautifully nuanced story underscores the connection between two young men trying to find their way in a country that continually threatens their very existence. The heartbreaking and tragically relevant history of a Sundown Town is all too real for these young black men, failed by the very institutions that should offer refuge and support. This play needs to be staged.

This play is so heartbreaking on so many levels… Two men trying to connect, trying to find solace in each other, but also acknowledging the harsh realities of being a person of color in the US. One of the most poignant parts for me was hearing the vivid dreams and that they were all real, leading to the metaphor of America as a “Sundown Town”. This is brilliant and brave work that should be widely produced. Congrats on your workshop at VTC!
