Nasty, Brutish, and Short
By Ian McRae. Directed by Vincent Scott.
Starring Dave Droxler and Michael James.
A white man writes a play about a Black family, submits it to a contest, it wins, and is now headed to Broadway. The problem is the contest was only for African Americans. So the white playwright invites a Black playwright over to ask him to take credit for it in order to see the production through. Who's story is it? Who has a right to tell it? Where does talent come from? Can empathy and a desire to do right transcend the racial biases that divide us? These are just some of the questions asked as the two playwrights confront who they are, what has shaped them, what they stand for, and what it means to do the right thing.
