Four intelligent, attractive and opinionated young urban professionals-a doctor, an actress, a psychologist and a neurobiologist studying the human brain's response to race-search for love, success and identity while also attempting to navigate the intricacies of racial and sexual politics. This whip-smart new play taps into current cultural conversation in an enthralling and provocative way, taking on deep questions of the nature of prejudice with razor sharp wit.

Staged in WT's intimate Gillian Theatre, this sexy, serious and fiercely funny new play explores the inescapable nature of racism and other tricky topics with rapid fire dialogue, shattering assumptions about our culture's ingrained attitudes of racism, sexism and classism. Audiences will be captivated by one of the smartest new plays of its time.

The Box Office is located at 325 Tudor Court, Glencoe; 847-242-6000; www.writerstheatre.org.
