The fourteenth winner of the Yale Drama Series prize explores
"Blackness" and the reasons why joy and peace might be harder to
get than we think What does it mean to be safe when you're a person
of color in the United States? If you were given the chance to
leave and create a utopia, would you? Is utopia possible with all
of our subconscious bias? Rachel Lynett's highly satirical and
funny play is set in the fictional world following a second Civil
War. Bronx Bay, an all-Black state (and neighborhood), is
established in order to protect "Blackness." When Jules's new
partner, Yael, moves into town, community members argue over
whether Yael, who is Dominican, can stay. Questions of safety and
protection surround both Jules and Yael as the utopia of Bronx Bay
confronts within itself where the line is when it comes to defining
who is Black and who gets left out in the process. The play is the
fourteenth winner of the Yale Drama Series prize and the first one
chosen by the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel.
