If you click on the links above you’ll see review excerpts about the play, pretty much all of which are right in my opinion.  The website seems very proud of the fact that the play is “shocking” or “hard-hitting.”  

 

 

The cast are uniformly excellent, and Yehuda Duenyas’s staging is strong and fluid.  But at the end of the night I don’t care.  And if you’re going to create a piece of theater is which a 9 year old is raped onstage twice in 10 minutes, and in which black man attempts to lynch another black man, you ought to have a point or perspective, and you better make the audience care.

 

Otherwise you’re a provocateur, and at this point in history that’s uninteresting.  There are real issues to talk about.  That’s more profound than provocation.
