  • Toby Malone: AFFINITY LUNCH MINUTES by Nick Malakhow
    “

    As always, Nick Malakhow comes through with a powerful, muscular work that interrogates difficult subjects with an unrelenting eye. This tense, wise piece examines academic politics and the price of (and the power of) doing "right" when you are up against a machine so entrenched that success is a far-off hope. Particularly inspired is the setting in a private Quaker school, giving Malakhow the opportunity to probe at the edges of what Meeting for Worship offers to characters with trauma and stress bubbling just below the surface. As always, Malakhow is creating memorable, outstanding work here...

  • Alex Lin: AFFINITY LUNCH MINUTES by Nick Malakhow

    A bold, engaging, and biting critique of predominantly white institutions and the endless systemic hurdles they present BIPOC as they not only attempt to navigate and survive them, but also thrive within them. Malakhow does a excellent job of filling this play with tense debate, that's always just on the edge of flying off the handle. The micro (and macro) aggressions that come into play are so uncanny valley, they'll leave you feeling like you just experienced them yourself. An swift interrogation of complacency and silence--this is one to watch.
