BWW Review: AN OCTOROON, Orange Tree Theatre

An Octoroon is a person who has one-eighth black heritage. In 1850s Louisiana, that meant they are automatically unclean and, ultimately, a slave. Branden Jacobs-Jenkins radically reimagines Dion Boucicault's 1859 play based upon a tragic and rather melodramatic love story between white plantation owner George and his uncle's illegitimate daughter Zoe. Entwined in this is the apparent financial ruin of the plantation, which leads to a series of racially motivated violent events.
BWW Review: IN OTHER WORDS, The Hope Theatre

In a space as small and potentially claustrophobic as The Hope Theatre, all you need to make a play with such a heavy theme go wrong is getting even a minimum detail wrong. It's not the case at all for In Other Words, a play written (and performed) by Matthew Seager and directed by Paul Brotherston.
