THE STORY: Lewis is a tenured professor of mathematics at a well-regarded university. Underneath his veneer of success, however, lies a soul troubled by questions of personal and cultural identity. When his wife leaves him, apparently due to the fact that he won't embrace his heritage and attend the Million Man March, Lewis experiences a disorienting insomnia and inadvertently conjures his ancestors. Three generations of men (all played by one actor), from slavery through Black Power, challenge Lewis to embark on a night journey combining past and present. Infused with abundant humor and woven through with original songs, BLUE DOOR is a tour de force for two actors, a vivid, exuberantly theatrical play about the African-American male experience.

Blue Door: A Play with Original Songs
Really nice investigation of generational pain as a cause for current self-judgement and the themes of abuse allow this to go beyond a polemic on race to a universal story of how we struggle to become individuals within a causal chain of genealogy but, I think the story is too big for the idiom the writer uses. This story seems fit for a big serious novel rather than a neo-Brechtian play. I was moved by the protagonist's arc but felt I was responding in sentiment to circumstances rather than identifying with a personal journey. It did make me feel better about some of the presentational choices I have been making in my current writing. I'd like to see this play staged.
