This play was really good. The cast of about seven does a great job playing multiple roles and stirring up emotions from beginning to end.
From the very beginning, the intense drama is present. The story addresses complex themes, including racial issues, gentrification, suicide, and the impact these have on families and communities.
The play starts in the 1950s, in the home of a white family. The drama quickly unfolds around the suicide of the family’s son and the family’s discussions about selling their home to a Black family in a predominantly white neighborhood.
Fast forward fifty years to the present day, where a white couple is moving back into the same house. Now, the concerns have shifted, with the Black residents apprehensive about gentrification and changes in the neighborhood.
The actors do a great job transitioning between the two periods. The play offers plenty of drama and intensity, along with some well-placed moments of humor.
I really enjoyed the show, and I’m thankful to my friend Tina for bringing me as her plus one. It was a great experience overall.
