Leslie is out of town so Ann went to a play- all by her lonesome- in Boston this weekend. It seems so wrong for one CultureBuddy to be without the other!
Stick Fly by Lydia Diamond is a wonderful play about a wealthy Black family with a vacation home in Martha's Vineyard. Two adult sons bring women home to meet the parents and all kinds of issues ensue including sibling rivalry, father/son problems, etc...The play is very well written and both touching and very humorous. The Boston Globe says the play is "a verbal slam-dance 0f class, gender, and family politics."
The cast was absolutely magnificent in this play which is directed by Kenny Leon who also directed Fences at The Huntington and who will next direct Denzel Washington in the same play on Broadway.
Boston audiences are blessed to have this wonderful play in their backyard for another month.
