Description
On February 6, 2006, five African-American women gather in the rain, waiting to pay their respects to Coretta Scott King. Playwright Pearl Cleage poses the question: What impact did this invaluable civil-rights leader have on the black women who followed her? Unfortunately, the conversation that ensues rings shallow. For all its anecdotes, it’s difficult to locate a story in Cleage’s Song. As hard as the performers work to add nuance, none of the characters has an identity beyond her assigned tragedy.—CMPWhen
