The Detroit Project: Three Plays (Paperback)
By Dominique Morisseau
Three provocative dramas, Paradise Blue, Detroit '67 and Skeleton Crew, make up Dominique Morisseau's The Detroit Project, a play cycle examining the sociopolitical history of Detroit. Each play sits at a cross-section--of race and policing, of labor and recession, of property ownership and gentrification--and comes alive in the characters and relationships that look toward complex, hopeful futures. With empathetic storytelling and an ear for the voices of her home community, Morisseau brings to life the soul of Detroit, past and present.
Dominique Morisseau was born in Detroit, Michigan. Her other plays include Pipeline, Sunset Baby, Blood at the Root and Follow Me to Nellie's. She has been awarded the Steinberg Playwright Award, the Spirit of Detroit Award, a PoNY Fellowship, the Sky Cooper New American Play Prize and an Obie Award.
