A brilliantly powerful piece of political satire. The humor is unrelentingly pointed and sharp, and takes no prisoners as it illuminates parts of American history that have been glossed over, and it takes on even more urgency in today's climate. They say if we forget history, we are doomed to repeat it, and this play unapologetically demands you learn. (In a very Mr. Rogers way. If Mr. Rogers was in your face comedy.) Far too often, trauma turns into trauma porn onstage. This turns trauma into a battle cry.
