Itβs not only hell that breaks loose in this ground-breaking, form-defying, laugh-out-loud new drama from Pulitzer Prize finalist playwright Zora Howard. Retta and Reggie are enjoying their usual evening on the porch when a longtime neighbor is pulled over by the police just before turning into his driveway. Everything goes as expected β until the unexpected happens. Humor, suspense, and surrealism converge in this gripping interrogation of what it costs to be Black and free. Lileana Blain-Cruz, a βmaster of curating chaosβ (The New York Times), directs.
