Nothing is what it seems in this comic, challenging, and searing 2019 Pulitzer Prize winner. What begins as a seemingly pleasant, playful examination of a blatantly stereotyped African-American family morphs into a scalpel-sharp commentary on racism, prejudice and white privilege. The play’s eventual destruction of the fourth wall delivers its themes brazenly to its audience in an unforgettable theatre event.
