A Witty And Intelligent New Play
by Lydia R. Diamond
directed by Kenny Leon
Race and privilege intersect in this thought-provoking and lively modern weekend, Kent LeVay invites his fiancee, Taylor, to meet his parents at their luxurious Martha's Vineyard summer home. Taylor, under the microscope and unaccustomed to the surrounding wealth, challenges the household dynamic. The family ties rapidly unravel when Kent's womanizing older brother surprises everyone with his white girlfriend. Conflict and dysfunction ensue as the household vigorously airs their long-secret dirty linens along with the drapes. Be a fly on the wall as this exciting new American voice, playwright Lydia Diamond (The Bluest Eye), astutely examines African-American social aristocracy in a work called "an impressively ambitious play" (Chicago Tribune) and "a refreshingly vital story about relationships and richly complew characters" (Variety).
