BWW Reviews: CITIZEN: AN AMERICAN LYRIC Lyrically Teaches Racism 101
If, for some inexplicable reason one didn't know, the world premiere of Citizen: An American Lyric will make it a point to educate you that racism exists. The multi-awarding winning book of poetry of the same name by Claudia Rankine, on which Stephen Sachs has adapted, will reinforce the many instances that black people deal with racism from their white counterparts. Citizen, ably directed by Shirley Jo Finney, succeeds more as a poetic performance art piece than an actual scripted play.
