Since reading August Wilson's Century Cycle and discovering Dominique Morisseau, I've been searching for more contemporary plays to bring into my classroom. Caged illuminates the generational effects of mass incarceration--and brings up questions for me about whether including eerily real depictions of life like this in my curriculum is healing or re-traumatizing.

Thank you for the hard work and vulnerability that went into creating this play. Caged was relatable, wise, honest, and moving. I wish I had more eloquent words and lengthier feedback, but this piece truly touched my spirit in a way that's difficult for me to describe. What I can say is that I will be sharing this beautiful work with others and working to create a world in which these struggles are a thing of our past.
