Marcia Leslie\u2019s fiercely funny courtroom drama centers on Victoria, a successful, African American television producer who sets out to sue two stereotypes of American black women: the subservient mammy, and the lascivious slut. In the words of the playwright, it’s “an exploration of what Aunt Jemima would say if she popped off the pancake box.” As Victoria argues her case before a judge, Leslie uses her sly satirical eye to examine how contemporary black women relate to traditional stereotypes. Powerful, complex, and laugh-out-loud funny, The Trial\u2026<\/em> makes a powerful statement about the importance of loving oneself, even in the face of oppression. The New York Post<\/em> calls it\u00a0“a wickedly funny, thoughtfully provocative play that’s often funny but also deeply serious.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
