Review: ‘Relentless’ at TimeLine Theatre, about a Black family in West Philadelphia in 1919, is the best new work here in years.

[Most read] University of Chicago student rescued from frozen Lake Michigan ‘had no idea he was on the ice,’ Fire Department official saysMore impressively yet, the play constantly teeters between hope and resignation, aspiration and retreat, a belief in fundamental human goodness and the epic sadness of our collective, hate-filled limitations. This is not a preachy nor a judgmental work any more that it is predictable. On the contrary, it’s both hard-hitting and compassionate.
