Description

Grandma’s birthday approaches. Beverly is organizing the perfect dinner, but everything seems doomed to go awry—the silverware is all wrong, the radio is on the fritz, and the rest of the family can’t be bothered to lift a hand to help. And yet, what appears at first to be a standard family dramedy takes a sharp, sly turn into a startling examination of deep-seated paradigms about race in America.

Reviews

"Dazzling and ruthless...one of the most exquisitely and systematically arranged ambushes of an unsuspecting audience in years...a glorious, scary reminder of the unmatched power of live theater to rattle, roil and shake us wide awake." New York Times
