THE PLAY GROUNDS is a suicide-prevention piece centering Aloe, a disabled, black teenager struggling to overcome his friend’s death, and to reverse his own attempt at suicide. This thrilling, diverse dramedy asks, “What if Hamlet decided not to be?” Could his friends, like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, save him in time? How might they have learned a nonfatal means of resolving intergenerational trauma? This play was developed in Congo Square Theatre Company’s inaugural Next-Up Playwriting Fellowship.
