Editorial Reviews

ÒThat racism is hateful, corrosive and self-perpetuating is hardlyÊnews. A play which captures that self-evident truth in fresh, robustÊand frequently funny fashion, however, is something unexpected. ThatÕsÊespecially so when the play poses difficult questions about theÊcomplexity of a manÕs heart, our rush to judge whatÕs there, and theÊextent of our own, unspoken prejudices.ÊGordon Winter by Kenneth T. Williams does all these things.Ó
