Slave Play is on countless “must-see” lists. Though not a great play, I am thrilled that it is having its fifteen minutes as it adds to the examination that needs to take place of US history and why we still have a race problem. Not a must-see, but a should see, for your own self-examination. My full review in New York Theatre Guide is here.
