What I liked

Script. Staging. Actors.

What I didn't like

The voice of the Black community in the scenes with those two opposing narratives, particularly the last scene with them. Not as sharp and clear as ALL of the rest of the play.

My overall impression

Riveting from the first moment. Incredible writing, not one fluff line. Outstanding performances from every actor. Every detail in their performances, just perfection! The set is so creative (without giving anything away). It was deep, painful, BUT I was grateful to see this story told. Needs to be told. This play is going to go the distance! In another setting—a talk back every night. And opportunities for action.
