This was my least favorite of the August Wilson plays that I've seen. I found it to be slow and the characters not sympathetic, unlike his later plays.Written on Apr 02 2012

This play was very provocative and deals with issues of racism in the twenties. In present day America the words may have changed but there is still underlying racism. Another message is that violence breeds violence. The play is very moving and certainly makes one think.Written on Mar 12 2012
