This is a superb play with well delineated, convincing characters delivering subtle nuances of emotion. I'd happily sit through it again and it deserves to be sold out many times over for Nottage's skillful writing, Moodie's brilliant performance and Boswell's clever direction. Bravo!

An Intervention looks at the tensions of a platonic friendship between a man and a woman.

Emotion will bring tears to your eyes at the bravery of Celie, and women like her, in the face of adversity. The context, of course, is that these women whose grandparents were born into slavery are still living an oppressed existence dictated by their gender and their lack of economic power.
