USA: Oye! Times readers Get FREE $30 to spend on Amazon, Walmart…Appropriate: Obie Award-Winning Look at Race & Identity
Mark Taper Forum (Los Angeles, CA)
Winner of the 2014 Obie Award for Best New American Play, Appropriate deals with the hassles of inheritance as one estranged family descends upon a crumbling Arkansan plantation to liquidate their dead patriarch’s estate. As the three adult children argue over clutter, debt and their troubled family history, a disturbing discovery among their father’s possessions turns up the intensity at the already-uncomfortable reunion. Decades of family resentment burst through centuries of historical sin in this outrageous and entertaining family drama. A subversive take on a classic American genre, playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ Appropriate offers a bold, modern look at race and identity. Catch its West Coast premiere at L.A.’s Mark Taper Forum.
