David Hurst takes a look at On Sugarland at New York Theatre Workshop:
Aleshea Harris' new play at New York Theatre Workshop, On Sugarland, is a big, sprawling, imaginative, ambitious, messy, over-written kaleidoscope of heartache that's as riveting as it is exhausting. Focusing on three families grappling with the devastating effect of war on the Black community, Harris and her talented collaborator, director Whitney White, have created a unique piece of theatre that speaks to grief in the human condition, as well as the sacrifice Black people have made that's wholly out of proportion with the rest of the country. |
