WHITE ON WHITE
WRITTEN BY ROBERT QUILLEN CAMP
DIRECTED BY ALEC DUFFY & LORI ELIZABETH PARQUET
“Its go-for-broke delirium is uncommonly satisfying.”
“There’s electricity in the way the production packs us all in so close together, about the clever way Quillen Camp ties the play to recent events, about the virtuosically deft orchestration of the characters and their tense efforts at reasoning and argument. . .It’s elegant writing, delicately juxtaposing what’s persuasive in this kind of work and what isn’t, and it’s precisely, even superbly, performed. ”
In WHITE ON WHITE, Hoi Polloi shares a peek inside the meeting of a white anti-racist group. As the members reckon with sacrifices they must make to live up to their principles, other forces begin to disrupt and unsettle their efforts. An uncanny ode to honesty, forgiveness, and accountability, this ensemble tour de force pulls the audience on a descent from the too-real to the sub-real.
