This was a powerful show that worked very well on Zoom. The show addresses many facets of racism with subtlety and grace (there's a pun here if you've read the play), while hammering home its very poignant message about systemic oppression. I also used the play as a teaching tool in my theatre class and many of the teachers have used our production to start valuable conversations with their students.
