This is a fantastic read that is both comical and gut wrenching. However, it is the uncomfortable conversations that make this play truly remarkable. There is a catharsis in hearing these conversations and playing out these scenarios that highlight the complications of conversations of race in our culture.
I saw so many brilliant plays in 2008 that I may be damning some with faint praise. In a year of other memories this might easily get 5 stars.

It's about Stuff White People Like people and it's hilarious. I have no idea whether the audience knew it was about them and laughed amused at their own hypocrisies or if they thought they were laughing at their neighbours.
