Matrix Theatre's Nataki Garrett Takes Controversial Neighbors to Mixed Blood
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.
