Description
This four-character production from L.A. Theatre Works and playwright Larissa FastHorse (Sicangu Lakota Nation) is a send-up of woke culture, a satire of political correctness, and a most entertaining listening experience. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff discuss this production that captures the zeitgeist with controlled mayhem. Liza Weil plays well-meaning Logan, who is directing an elementary school drama production and trying her best to stitch together a “culturally sensitive” play about Native Americans with four white players, no script, and historical references that make every issue “an issue.” Ellis Greer’s Alicia, Josh Stamberg’s Jaxton, and Mark Jude Sullivan’s Caden give life to woke stereotypes. There’s an insightful interview with FastHorse, a MacArthur Fellow, at the audiobook’s conclusion. Published by L.A. Theatre Works
