Nataki Garrett, who directed the West Coast premiere of Neighbors for The Matrix Theatre Company last season, will again direct when Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' highly controversial play opens the 2011-12 season at Mixed Blood Theater in Minneapolis on September 16.
Subtitled "A Play with Cartoons," Neighbors is a shocking, explosive, and wildly theatrical new play that examines race relations in post-racial America. Daily Variety called the Matrix production, "Combative and audacious," and the Los Angeles Times wrote, "Messy, bold, desperately funny and deeply felt: ‘Neighbors' is worth getting to know."
Neighbors is included in "21st Century Neighbors," a new anthology by Northwestern University Press that features, in addition, new plays by Robert O'Hara, Gloria Bond Clunie, and Bruce Norris.
