Like someone else whose post I commented on, you seem to think that being sensitive to social justice is a bad thing. It would be really nice if people would stop employing "woke" as a pejorative because it isn't. FWIW, I know the play inside and out, I love it, and Sabina is the smartest, wisest, sexiest, and most powerful person on that stage. That production in the park that everyone seems to be obsessed with was not representative of the play. It was a dumb production that was presented at or near the nadir of the Public Theater.

Tremendously challenging piece of theater for the creatives and the audience. I have seen several productions over the years and only one was able to keep the tone and themes afloat and resonant - Darko Trensjak's 2000 production at Williamstown. Great cast, smart design with strong sense of play and whimsy but packed a shivering chill.
