American Son at CTX Theatre at Concordia University

An incredibly powerful and intimate play, American Son by Christopher Demos-Brown is about an estranged bi-racial couple who must confront their feelings about race, gender, and bias after their son is detained by the police following a traffic stop incident. Their disparate histories and backgrounds inform their assumptions as they try to find out what has happened to their son. Demos-Brown is adept at presenting multiple viewpoints in conflict, giving each equal weight.
