Howard Miller takes a look at Separate and Equal:
The septic wound of legally sanctioned racial segregation in the U.S. remains very much a living memory for anyone who was around prior to its painfully slow dissolution starting in the mid-1950s. Inspired by narratives from an oral history project about the Jim Crow era, playwright Seth Panitch has written Separate and Equal, opening today at 59E59 Theaters in a production that combines realism with expressionism into a stew of dramatic and kinetic tension. . . . |
