"RECOMMENDED” - Stage Raw

A suspense filled hour in pursuit of the truth. Blue touches on the inextricable links between power, violence, and the conflict between guardianship and enforcement. Ultimately, the play asks, "What happens when those granted the power to protect us see us as the enemy?”

“For up-close powerhouse intimate theater, this is definitely recommended. An excellent writer … amazing actors” Stage & Cinema

Carryl’s play is as tight as it is immediate, an inspired-by-the-headlines jolt of storytelling that cuts across racial unrest, the psyches of our men in blue and even the January 6 insurrection.
