A beautifully written piece that elegantly describes how the themes of three different theatre plays come together around racism and consensus building. Then Yassmin leaves us with a question to ask ourselves how each of us experiences collective agreements? I certainly experience this in my marriage and with family and use this collective view as a guide in how to make the right choices.
Thanks for the your thoughts. As an Australian in London I was wondering what I should see and couldn’t abide a musical. Kyoto sounds well worth the visit.
Lol. I just wrote a long comment that disappeared as I answered a call.
Thanks for your thoughts on these two plays. Avenue Q would have been a wacky start to theatre!
Kyoto sounded really interesting - perhaps more than the first play but I'm not a fan of wordy internal monologues by white women - my own are pretty boring🫠. I'm not attracted to that kind of theatre. Was it a static production? Naturalistic?
Wordy well directed moments of history like the production of Kyoto sound way more interesting and your thoughts around them make me want to read the play.
A good oral history/play to read: Mad Forest by Caryl Churchill. She write with the grad students of the London School of Drama. It's about the end of the Causcescu rule in Romania.

These things always feel even harder when it comes to family…!

Hope you enjoy if you do get to see it!
