3.0

Okay, so I ended up getting the physical copy of this and I really enjoyed all of the information and history before the play and the process of analyzing the play and trying to thing through different conversations that it was putting forth. It focuses on colorism in the time and how it breeds hatred within a community, focusing more on one characters self-destructive behaviors due to her own insecurities. I sort of wish there were different examples of this throughout and that the ending was a little longer.. or something? 

It was short and sweet and got me thinking, so it was successful in that. But I feel like the play itself was missing something. I Dunno..
