Your conversation with people of color would be just as anecdotal as mine. But you should have the conversation--it is eye opening.
And when you think about it, with the playwright and director both white with not connection to Jamaican culture, it is going to be very hard for the production to overcome a "white" p.o.v. Perhaps they expected the novelist to be more involved, not knowing she would be too ill to.
I was trying to learn more about the production, and found this. It brings up some of the issues with the second act. I reminded me of the intensely dramatic situations in Hortense and Gilbert's story....which are described rather than dramatized. |
