Dominique Morisseau's PARADISE BLUE, now running at Portland Playhouse, is an intense, beautifully acted noir drama about community, legacy, and the forces that tear both apart.

It's a thriller of sorts that explores the individual forces that further complicate the societal impact of gentrification.
