A Reconstruction

Matthew Lopez’s The Whipping Man sees a wounded Confederate soldier and two of his former slaves scraping together a makeshift Passover seder just a day or two after the Civil War. You know, like you do.  Marin Theatre Company gives the play its local premiere, and my review is in today’s Marin Independent Journal.
