The 2020 Williamstown Theatre Festival is offered free by Audible because of the pandemic. This raw play, about two mixed-race couples who meet for dinner and descend into rancor from their interethnic differences and jealousies, seems to have polarized reviewers on Goodreads. The play, to be sure, revels in its own unfiltered language (almost musically or buoyantly so), but the ideas are edgy, engaging. The zing of the play reminded me a little of Disgraced, though it is ultimately less forceful.

A generally well-written and well-constructed play that builds in complexity over time.
All four characters are messy and flawed, often ugly. I don't think myself any better than they are, but I'm sure as hell glad I don't relate to them. I suppose we get the messes we're made for. And these messes would be too much for me.
