PLAY: Bang Bang, by Kat Sandler. Run Time: 2hours and 30min, including a 15 min intermission. Lila is a Black former police officer whose career ended after she shot an unarmed Black youth. Her story is fictionalized by Tim, a white playwright whose play about the shooting takes liberties with the facts. Now there’s talk of a film, and Tim visits Lila to discuss. What unfolds is a raucous struggle on the subjects of responsibility and representation, framed by Kat Sandler’s trademark wit.
Check out the GCTC site for dates and tickets.
