"Miami needs to do this play. Questions of racism have never been so frankly discussed on our campus as they are in Gilman's play. It is not the most eloquent in dialogue, characterization, etc, but the message is clear, crisp, biting and refreshing. It leaves you with both frustration and hope. "

    " An examination of race at an elite private college - the central character is a white woman dealing with guilt and misunderstandings of race. Sarah Jessica Parker was rumored to have purchased the rights to this and to have made it into a movie for HBO. "
