The startling revelations which follow lead to blackmail, mayhem and sudden death, all wildly antic. (3 men, 2 women)
Shoes is a subtle and telling character study of three black boys and their flamboyant plans for spending the money they have earned during summer employment at a Texas country club (5 men, or 2 men, 3 boys)
In Contribution, a black grandmother sends her nervous grandson off to join a sit-in. At first it appears that she is a "good darkie," who stays aloof from such demonstrations - but the hilarious, and arresting, climax of the play reveals that she has her own method of helping in the struggle for her people's rights (1 man, 2 women)
A successful Off-Broadway presentation, these hilarious and perceptive plays bring insight and humor to bear on our nation's racial dilemma
