Rosalee Pritchett and The Perry's Mission

See it if you can make it through the first play which is very sloppy. The second play is great. I gave the first play a 15 and the second play 70

Don't see it if you want to see something new. Both plays were written over 45 years ago.

Also The was the worst audience I have ever been a part of. Constant talking between audience members, phones going off, audience members talking out loud to the cast. I don't know what is going on lately but this seems to be happening now more than ever. How hard is it to just sit there and keep your mouth shut. The first play was bad in every way. The acting was so bad you couldn't get past it to determine if the play itself was any good. In the second play the acting was better overall but still not great. The play itself is very well written and builds to a nice clean finish. there was a nice big surprise at the end. Very nice pay off. If I could do it all over again I would miss the first play, show up an hour late and just watch the second one.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see what happens in an affluent black neighborhood during the riots of the 70's. You are ready for a play with a twist.

Don't see it if You are easily offended by the "N" and the "B" word. You don't have an open mind.

See it if Both imparted important messages in their day but neither, especially the first is very good.Not worth reviving except for historical value.

Don't see it if Many of the actors were amateurish, costumes way off. I would prefer to hear from some of the more talented contemporary black playwrights.

See it if You are looking for a compelling night of theatre about the Black experience in our country

Don't see it if You're not a fan of political theatre or are easily offended by language

Also Even though these two plays premiered almost 50 years ago they still resonate today... Read more Read less
