"America is obsessed with racism. That statement is something you'll hear stated in Jackie Sibblies Drury's Pulitzer Prize winning play Fairview. While the negative impact of racism is something most white people don't have to personally deal with, Drury focuses her play in a specific way to speak directly to the white people in the audience to ask them questions about how their actions possibly influence the negative treatment of Black people. Stray Cat Theatre presents the local premiere in a fairly solid production of this interesting but somewhat messy and overstuffed play. Because of that, you may walk out thinking that Fairview isn't a well-written play or one where all of the ideas Drury throws out don't exactly stick, but it's also a play you will most likely be thinking about, discussing, and debating about for days after seeing it. I know I am"  - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
