Historic look at steroids in baseball, names have been changed to protect the guilty. one scene with some partial male nudity, contains some strong language.
The play was well done but wonder if an attendee would know that it was Jose Canseco and Mark McGuire if you weren't aware of the steroid issue going on in baseball. Knowing that story made the play more interesting and real.
Our only complaint was that the theatre was freezing. If you go dress warm. There was no need to have the air conditioning on so high.
Before headlines blazed, before the Mitchell Report and ESPN lit up millions of television screens with the scandals, before congressional jaws dropped, comes the story of three guys making their way in the world of professional baseball – a world too competitive to rely solely on raw talent. This explosive play from the acclaimed writer of The Four of Us and Bach at Leipzig takes you behind the headlines into the locker room to witness an even more gripping confrontation you didn’t see on TV, as these teammates face each other and do battle – for their careers, their legacies, and the future of America’s favorite pastime. Back Back Back was awarded an Edgerton Foundation 2008 New American Plays Award.
