An Obie award winner, it seemed to confirm the reputation of its author as one of this country’s most original and illuminating writers about race. There was excitement when it was announced that Theater for a New Audience would be restaging Ms. Benson’s Soho Rep production, but also a certain apprehension.” These remarks from a respected critic are sufficient to make this play essential part of our trip plan.
