1. Slave Play
The play is a provocative examination of race, sex, and power dynamics through the lens of interracial relationships. Set on a Southern plantation that hosts an antebellum-themed sex therapy retreat, the narrative follows three modern-day interracial couples as they engage in an experimental therapy to address their issues. The therapy involves role-playing scenarios from the slavery era, which leads to intense and often uncomfortable confrontations of historical and contemporary racial traumas. The play challenges audiences to reflect on the lingering impact of slavery on personal and societal relationships, while questioning the effectiveness and ethics of unconventional therapeutic methods.
