In this groundbreaking, form-defying, laugh-out-loud new drama from Pulitzer-Prize finalist playwright Zora Howard, chaos ensues when Retta and Reggie are enjoying their usual evening on the porch and a longtime neighbor is pulled over by the police just before turning into his driveway. Everything goes as expected — until the unexpected occurs. Humor, spectacle, and surrealism converge in this gripping interrogation of what it costs to be Black and free, under the direction of Lileana Blain-Cruz, a “master of curating chaos” (The New York Times). Brought to you by the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta.
