I did this play at the black rep in st. Louis

I played the guitar in the brothel band

I really enjoyed doing it. It was a very

Good play... And very touching and

informative..... 5 stars for Lynn Nottage

[LetItBeFormerlyX]

Lynn Nottage is some brilliant blessed - type

Where L. Frank Baum's "Wizard of Oz" and and Small's / Brown's "The Wiz" tell of

fear and fraud, Nottage's very most important work tells of scapegoating, suckering,

compensating and pacifying (and probably transference--I need seeing it again) that defines the borderline: will we fight in the streets and perish or will we spill water on

& melt the scapegoaters for profit and soar in a moral, scientific universe.
