Howard Miller takes a look at Too Heavy For Your Pocket:
Too Heavy For Your Pocket, opening tonight at the Roundabout's Black Box Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center, provides a truly auspicious introduction of playwright Jiréh Breon Holder to New York theater audiences. This is an exceptional work, one that will dive-bomb into your head and your heart as it recounts the experiences of two young black couples in the early days of the Freedom Riders, the Civil Rights busing protest from the early 1960s in which, among many others, the 19-year-old future Congressman John Lewis was arrested and jailed. . . . |
