Judith, I don't know if you have already seen the article about this play from the Shadow and Act website http://shadowandact.com/heres-why-a-change-org-petition-wants-slave-play-shut-down/. It contains the link to a petition by a Black woman, Ashley B., who writes: "As a Black woman I was terribly offended and traumatized by the graphic imagery mixed with laughter from a predominantly white audience." http://www.change.org/p/abernalwbrc-yahoo-com-shutdown-slave-play The plot of the play may indeed seem disturbing: "Parris plays Kaneisha a woman who takes on the role of a slave who has an 'affair' with Jim (Nolan), her partner who is roleplaying as a white overseer. Alana pretends to be the mistress of the house and her biracial partner Phillip (Jones), pretends to be Alana's well-dressed house slave. Gary (Blankson-Wood) roleplays as a slave who acts as the boss to white indentured servant Dustin (Cusati-Moyer)."
