Got a chance to view a production of the play this evening. An incredibly well written and thought provoking piece of work. Malakhow provides great parts for the actors to sink their teeth into. The nuance of this play is superb. After finishing the viewing, it took a while for much to sink in, but the discussion I was able to have with those who viewed it with me was almost as valuable as the viewing. It's that type of work, and this play is a powerful statement by Malakhow on sadly still relevant issues in our society. A triumph.

AFFINITY LUNCH MINUTES by Nick Malakhow is an incredibly powerful play that I read more than once so I could spend even more time with these characters. The dialogue is so rich and layered, giving deep subtext between the words and moments. And as the story unfolds, the intersectional ways in which the characters connect and collide is masterfully done, exploring racism, diversity, queerness, and whiteness more deeply than I've read before. It would be such a gift to watch this play unfold on stage, and I have no doubt that I'll have that opportunity soon. Produce this play.

Affinity Lunch Minutes by Nick Malakhow is something everyone should make time to read in their lifetime. This play is illuminating to the struggles people of color face in PWIs. The commentary on institutional racism is nuanced in a way you don't usually see. This show impacted me extremely. I found myself thinking about it for weeks after I read it. I think everyone needs to read this play. If you are considering it, I would highly recommend it.
