Although this play was set in the 80s it does a wonderful job illuminating the struggles that we are still facing in society today. It was incredibly impactful to see a fight for justice and equality being taken up by a younger generation of students that echoed the fight the older generation of professors faced decades earlier. Before this play I did not fully realize the relationship between the black and jewish communities and created a powerful statement of what happens when presented with a person or issue that threatens that relationship, in a play with rich and complex characters.
