Riveting story and believable portrayals of other characters in a one man show.
What I didn't like
Some of the transitions could have been smoother.
My overall impression
Fascinating portrayal of racism as experienced by a young black boy in Kansas in the 60s and 70s. Sometimes the scenes made me squirm due to the uncomfortable nature of navigating the racism. Highly recommend you go see Black When I Was a Boy. Cooper Bates naturally entrances you with his story.
