I had the pleasure of attending a reading of this play at the 38th Annual William Inge Festival.
An inventive play, at times harrowing, other times ridiculously funny, that surveys our American past and present historical responses to slavery, leaping beyond that to an imagined future of slavery, 800 years on the page and stage -- Kara Lee Corthron insists on a difficult theatre to force us to talk and, hopefully, deal with our sh*t and change it now so we don't repeat ourselves.
