Review: TROUBLE IN MIND Speaks Inconvenient Truths at Pittsburgh Public Theater
by Greg Kerestan - Feb 15, 2025
It's a very good play about a very bad play. That's the capsule version of what you'll see at Justin Emeka's production of Alice Childress's once-controversial Trouble in Mind. Though written in 1955, the mix of seriousness and satire in the piece feels shockingly contemporary, both in terms of its subject matter and in terms of its tone and structure.
