We’re Not Playing: Two Plays by Jaisey Bates

Jaisey Bates is a beautiful writer, and her words (even in correspondence) feel as though they are floating on the page.  That’s saying something in a time where many, many people have allowed their language to become crudely shaped weapons, … Continue reading
