If you’re a black actress in the ’30s your only shot at success lay in stealing small scenes in big Hollywood blockbusters.

In this wonderfully imagined play we all see both the hilarity and poignancy of a life in this often absurd cultural and moral climate. What roles we all play to be successful!
