Dennis McIntyre
Full Length, Drama
5 m, 1 f Unit set. This taut, incendiary drama explores the emotional and societal fallout when a respected Black police officer loses his cool and in a "split second" kills a white man: a taunting, racist petty thief. "An explosive new play dealing with primal dramatic issues, using and lifting the familiar police genre to tell a story about an individual facing a crisis of conscience. Despite that opening gunshot, the play never descends into melodrama, as it accelerates to its conclusion with a Woyzeck like inevitability. One of the evening's major surprises is how a work of such excellence managed to elude all our major institutional theatres."- N.Y. Times. FEE: $75 per performance.
