'He somehow balances marital tensions, racism, artistic ambition, and jealousy in a story that could’ve veered into melodrama and overkill a dozen times over but never does.'
Christian Alexander is the writer and co-star of this world premiere production from his brand-new company, Campfire Repertory Theatre. James and Michelle come home after what should be a triumphant night. Michelle has starred in a play and expects James to shower her with praise; what she gets instead is a cold bucket of reality. The young couple, who’ve recently moved to Harlem in the 1920s with big dreams, are at a crossroads.
Introducing his play before the curtain, Alexander stressed that this is a Black play rather than a Eurocentric one and urged the audience to call out and comment on the action in ways generally frowned upon in traditional theater presentations. And his audience didn’t disappoint. They rooted for James and criticized Michelle one minute, then changed their minds as the couple put each other through torments.
