Race, David Mamet's incendiary exploration of truth and lies provoked by racial identity and expectation, has just completed its first week at Trustus Side Door Theatre, in collaboration with the NiA Company. Happily for Columbia audiences, it runs for another week, allowing continued opportunity for this production to provoke and bestir. Staged here in the small, spare environment of a black box theatre, Race is a decidedly adult drama underscored by barbed wit and suspense, and its enforced intimate setting creates a hothouse urgency that literally does not allow one to look away. Attention, as has been famously said in other theatre contexts, must be paid.

David Mamet's Race is a complex piece that explores the very subject matter for which it is titled. The NiA Company collaborates with Trustus Theatre to bring this sharp and daring script to life in the Capital City this spring. Race opens in the Richard and Debbie Cohn Trustus Side Door Theatre April 10th at 8:00pm, and runs through April 19th, 2014.
