  • Greg Burdick: Youth for Dark by Keith Whalen
    “

    “Youth For Dark” is a smart exploration of power dynamics between public school administrators and students, and the risks and consequences of speaking truth to that power. Whalen’s play unfolds beautifully, with increasingly clever interchanges between young David, and the aging Mr. Durkis. A Socratic seminar, where the folks in charge get schooled. Outstanding.
