RACE ACROSS THE FENCES: "NEIGHBORS"
AT THE MATRIX THEATRE

Review by M.R. Hunter
NEIGHBORSOne of the questions posed in the West Coast premiere of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins stimulating play isn't "What will the neighbors think?" as it is "What do we really think of our neighbors?" The neighbors in question are the Crow family-a troupe of African-American minstrels in blackface that move into a middle-class track development next door to the interracial Patterson home which sets off a firestorm of deeply-rooted issues about racial identity and perception...

"ALL MY SONS" HITS HOME
AT THE RUSKIN GROUP THEATRE

by M.R. Hunter

All My Sons
WWII may be over in Arthur Miller's devastating tragedy, but in the comfortable middle-class, Keller household an entirely insidious and deeply more personal war is about to be waged. Taking no prisoners in this quietly unfolding plot, each character must confront a terrible truth they wish to deny. The consequences are shattering, the message a warning against the dehumanizing effect of big business when there is no ethical filter to keep it in restraint.
