Relevant, Clever

See it if Discussion of race (esp. Black & White) from the White gaze intrigue you. Interesting use of audience participation.

Don't see it if Acknowledging assumptions based on race is very uncomfortable. Mostly about Black-White dynamic, less so for other people of color dynamics. Read more

Intense, Thought-provoking, Great acting, Confusing, Ambitious

See it if Drury's meta-dramatic theatrical piece on race & white privilege (both on & off stage) is dense, chilling, edgy & very funny (until its not)

Don't see it if Divided into three "acts", takes time & some confusion moving through them Seems to lose focus as events spin out of control but KO ending

Clever, Ambitious, Relevant, Thought-provoking, Intelligent

See it if you're interested in a creative theatrical experiment that deconstructs race. It starts off like a sitcom, but then takes twists and turns.

Don't see it if you prefer to see a traditional play. Each of the 3 acts is quite different and ending may leave some audience members feeling uncomfortable

Must see, Intense, Excruciating, Great staging, Powerful

See it if You are looking for a piece of theatre that defines our world today, a theatre experience you won’t soon forget, race is examined full on

Don't see it if You are feeling overwhelmed by current state of events and how race interplays with that, if you are looking for something comfortable
