Description
Woo LAWD. Here we go, our big 50th episode! The Broadway Babies dove head-first into their first play of our podcast, as part of our Broadway Babies Take Manhattan Tour. Join Alex and Daisha as they navigate the psychosexual minefields, major surprises and even their own personal struggles in the polarizing new Broadway play "Slave Play." (We do discuss spoiler details about this uncomfortable saga of three interracial couples, so proceed with caution!) *This episode does feature a lot of discussion about slavery, violence and sexual behaviors, often simultaneously. We try to stay mostly lighthearted, much like the play itself, but these can be heavy themes regardless. So if this is a subject you're sensitive about, here's fair warning about that, as well.* Play by Jeremy O. Harris Directed by Robert O'Hara Show Notes: White women? Getting offended at being called out? Groundbreaking. (But honestly, kind of the play's intention.) If you're interested in the idea of generational trauma and historical legacy...Y'all need to watch HBO's "Watchmen," too.
