DESCRIPTION:
Detroit ’67 is Morisseau’s aching paean to her natal city A deft playwright, Morisseau plays expertly with social mores and expectations. She also reframes commonplace things so that we see them in new light.” StarTribune on Detroit ’67A deeply moral and deeply American play, with a loving compassion for those trapped in a system that makes sins, spiritual or societal, and self-betrayal almost inevitable.” The New York Times on Skeleton Crew
With empathetic storytelling and an ear for the voice of her home community, Morisseau brings to light the race and class divide of not only Detroit but the nation as a whole.. In 1967, 1949, and 2008, respectively, three new dramas from Morisseau showcase the economic and racial tensions that the city of Detroit has faced through the past century
