THE STORY: The place is Heavenly Heights, U.S.A., where a flourishing black capitalist and his family enjoy the gaudiest blessings of material success, while regarding the poor black people of Goodbread Alley with disdain. The irony of their attitude is enhanced by the casting of black actors as white and white as black, with roles reversed as the play progresses; until all are merged at a point of soul stirring catharsis as the need to recover a stolen humanity is made undeniably and powerfully clear.
Avant-garde in style, this biting, satire, employs brilliant theatricality to probe into the conflict between middle-class blacks and their less fortunate brothers.
