À propos de ce contenu audio
What happens when conflicting emotions inhabit the same space? When a new vocabulary is devised to disguise the same old thoughts? In this barbed satire of political correctness, Rebecca Gilman's provocative characters spin a web of their own, revealing the latent racism that may lurk beneath the porcelain veneer of a liberated conscience.

Avis de l'équipe
In struggling with the problems of minority students, including harassment, college administrator Sarah Daniels confronts her own intractable prejudices in this fundamentally serious play, which includes elements of satire and farce. The actors do well by their sometimes broadly painted characters, with Jordan Baker a convincing, sympathetic Sarah (though minorities may find her struggles to tolerate them unsympathetic). Musical cues make scene and act divisions clear; the live audience's reactions are welcome, except for laughter at purely visual cues. Some scenes, at their start, sound hollow, as if recorded in a barrel, but that passes. A partially hopeful ending does not convince, but the play remains entertaining and thought-provoking - fun with a spine.
