powerful and thought provoking even as a written play but i feel it would be even more impactful on the stage. Also curious about the way this play can change with each performance.
wish i had seen it when it was playing in toronto

This play tackles the discussion of race in a way I have not seen before. It is satirical, absurd, and intimate. At times I felt as though I were reading the notes of the playwright instead of a script but most times I didn’t mind it and perhaps even enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the story, the dialogue, and the structure. I would be very interested in seeing a live production of this play.

I don’t think I got it, maybe it’s better to see this one as a play?
