Slave Play

The reverberations of “Slave Play” made it across the country to California where I heard about it. I didn’t know exactly what to expect but I heard the play described as “shocking.” The show closed earlier this year with celebrities flocking to the final performances. I was intrigued and knew I had to check it out. I can’t describe the play without giving much away, so I won’t. I will just describe the show as an intense, funny, though-provoking look at race. If you like reading plays, this is a good one to check out, it’s almost poetic in structure. If you want to be surprised, I would recommend waiting to see a performance. I know I can’t wait to see a live staging of this show someday. ★★★★★ ◊ Trade Paperback ◊ Play ◊ Purchased online. ◾︎
