“A VERY FINE NEW PLAY!
WARM-BLOODED, ASTUTE, and BEAUTIFULLY ACTED!CLIFFORD ODETS’S dramas come to mind and so does the great
Pittsburgh cycle of AUGUST WILSON!
Squarely in the tradition of ARTHUR MILLER!
A DEEPLY MORAL and DEEPLY AMERICAN PLAY, 
directed with a slow hand and quick pulse by Ruben Santiago-Hudson!”– The New York Times

“DON’T MISS THIS INTIMATE GEM!”
– NY Post

“ A PERFORMANCE SO POWERFUL THAT THE CHARACTER SEEMS TO RISE UP OUT OF THE PLAY!”
– Bergen Record

“MORISSEAU HAS HEART!
Her rough-edged dialogue has a touch of street poet.
Gravatt is FIERCE AND FINE!”– Variety

“A taut and VIBRANTLY ACTED drama with 
vivid characters, keen-eared dialogue, and inside insights into this working class world.
MORISSEAU’S FINAL CHAPTER IS BUILT TO LAST!”– NY Daily News

“UNQUESTIONABLY A STRONG, FORMIDABLE WORK!
All four leads are IMPECCABLE!
THEATERGOERS WON’T WANT TO MISS!”– Huffington Post

Like LORRAINE HANSBERRY and AUGUST WILSON,
Morisseau creates characters WHO SING WITH THE
VERNACULAR OF THEIR COMMUNITY! Rarely has
dialogue ever felt so much like eavesdropping on an actual conversation!”– Theatermania

In Dominique Morisseau’s third play in her Detroit trilogy, a makeshift family of workers at the last exporting auto plant in the city navigate the possibility of foreclosure. Power dynamics shift, and they are pushed to the limits of survival. When the line between blue collar and white collar gets blurred, how far over the lines are they willing to step?

Steinberg Playwright Award winner Dominique Morisseau’s bold new play is directed by Obie Award winning actor, writer and director Ruben Santiago-Hudson (The Piano Lesson, Lackawanna Blues).
