This is an epic play, consisting of twenty-eight distinct micro plays of varying language styles and forms, that journeys through shifting perspectives of living in Black skin.July 1, 2018$17.00  PRAISE BOMB MAGAZINE EDITOR’S CHOICE This collection of plays is a testimony to and an expression of life in the Black body and psyche. The work dares to meet the subject matter where it is, allowing it to tell the truth, shame the devil, and put a self-congratulatory industry on notice. The time for niceties has come and gone. If theatre is to be revolutionary, it cannot be lukewarm, it must bring the fire. That is what Daaimah Mubashshir has done.— Stacey R
