BWW Review: THE NICETIES, Finborough Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Oct 4, 2019
Hailed by The New York Times as a?oebristlinga?? and a?oeprovocativea?? during its Off-Broadway run, Eleanor Burgess's abrasive The Niceties is exactly that.

Matthew Iliffe directs the debate play, revealing systemic internalised racism and the ugly truth of standing on the middle ground.
