Synopsis
Flag Day - Good Clean Fun & Down and Dirty
Published by Dramatists Play Service
5 Male 1 Female
The first play - Good Clean Fun - is a darkly funny office comedy pitting two workers - one black, one white - against each other as they try to complete a high-pressure project
The office racism intensifies as we learn that one of them has stolen the other's wife
The second - Down and Dirty - evokes recent white-on-black and black-on-white killings in the American South
In a style poised carefully on the edge of absurdism, we discover a man dying in a car's windshield as people argue over whether or not to save him " ... a frank, powerful, insightful, commentary on the still-poisoned status of race relations in this countryUnexpectedly balanced and provocative, Flag Day will have audiences peering deeply into their own souls long after they have left the darkened theater" ~ Washington Times
