Overview
Overview
"The deftly crafted blend of shocking exaggeration and believability, politeness and fury...makes Appropriate land with the kind of thump you rarely encounter in the theater." --Chicago Tribune
"So energetic, funny, and entertainingly demented, you can't look away." --New York on An Octoroon
A double-volume containing two astonishing breakout plays from one of the theatre's most exciting and provocative young writers.
In Appropriate, strained familial dynamics collide with a tense undercurrent of socio-political realities when the Lafayettes gather at a former plantation home to sift through the belongings of their deceased patriarch. An Octoroon is an audacious investigation of theatre and identity, wherein an old play gives way to a startlingly original piece.
Also includes the short play I Promise Never Again to Write Plays About Asians...
