Mike Wangen’s lights gently guide the attention. Bill Cottman’s projections add depth and drama. The acting is straightforward and matter-of-fact no histrionics are needed to reinforce Rankine’s language. “Wendy Knox directs the strong and committed cast includes Heather Bunch, Hope Cervantes, Michael Hannah, Theo Langason, Joe Nathan Thomas and Dana Lee Thompson.

From Gray Wolf Press: Claudia Rankines bold book recounts mounting racial aggressions in ongoing encounters. It’s easily the most important piece of theater I’ve seen so far this year.
