Dutch Masters - ePublication
THE STORY: During a New York City summer in 1992, a black kid strikes up a conversation with a white kid on a Bronx-bound subway. As the afternoon unfolds, they find themselves smoking weed and talking history. In the tradition of The Zoo Story and The Dutchman, DUTCH MASTERS hurtles towards a chilling climax between two men whose connection is deeper and more personal than it seems.
“[DUTCH MASTERS is] written in vivid, conversational language…The script asks provocative questions about appropriation and responsibility [while] it titrates its information in a slow, suspenseful drip…Each revelation reorients the relationship a couple of degrees. For the audience, it’s a pleasure to readjust assumptions and expectations accordingly…” —The New York Times.
“…a concise yet impactful work…DUTCH MASTERS is not only a viscerally gripping experience, but also a thought-provoking one, bound to inspire reflection long after its immediate intensity has worn off.” —TheaterMania.
“…a poignant and suspenseful [play] that reaches an emotionally draining conclusion…Though its primary theme of race is vividly imparted, DUTCH MASTERS succeeds as well as a searing mystery…” —Theater Scene.
