What I liked
The staging was brilliant, and the transitions between characters were incredibly artful and meaningful. The characters themselves were so well-developed and performed—not just stereotypes, but 3-dimensional characters with depth, thoughts, philosophies, and perspectives all their own, and each embodying a different impulse. Jamar’s perspectives on responsibility, rage, confusion, and sadness at having to curate who he has to be—and the dire consequences for him if he fails—will strike home for everyone, regardless of age, sex, race, sexual identity, or creed. And given the dire nature of the subject matter, what an inspiring final monologue!

My overall impression
This show is astounding and maybe the most important show I’ve seen yet this Fringe. A beautifully staged series of characters presents nuanced and detailed perspectives of black men of various generations and roles, before Jamar brilliantly pulls together his insights from all of them and appeals to everyone to be all of themselves.
