The production also reframes the Kowalski home as a biracial marriage, a choice that deepens the story’s examination of identity, power, and community. Director Erica Sutherlin notes that both Stella and Stanley, as well as Eunice and Steve, are biracial couples in this world. “Of course, we can have conversation about the racial tension within the narrative, but we also get to explore relationship tensions, the cultural dynamics that seep into the room because of who they are in 1965. Or how they have chosen to love. Who are these people existing in this landscape? How do they define community because there is a community in the world of this play. Honestly, no one escapes culpability in this play. No one is completely good or bad or completely strong or weak. People are shades, gradients of the whole.”

The festival runs from 25 February to 8 March in Glasgow.
