Apologies To Lorraine Hansberry (you Too August Wilson) by Rachel Lynett, will stream this Saturday.
This virtual new play reading is part of The Basel-Kiene Family joins City Beverages in presenting PlayFest 2020.
Set in the fictional world of a post-second Civil War, Bronx Bay, an all-black state (and neighborhood) is established in order to protect "blackness." It's a utopia, but enforcing utopia proves to be tricky when it comes to defining who is Black and who isn't. Both quick-witted and unpredictable, this thought-provoking script explores race and personal identity through the lens of an alternate future.
Saturday, October 17 at 7:30 p.m.. Tickets to individual PlayFest readings ($10) may be purchased online at orlandoshakes.org or by phone at (407) 447-1700 ext. 1. See all six readings and save $12 with a PlayFest Pass ($48).
