Playwright Rachel Lynett “Apologies to Lorraine Hansberry (You Too August Wilson)” is set in the fictional world of a post-second Civil War. Bronx Bay, an all-Black state (and neighborhood) is established in order to protect “Blackness.” As Jules’ new partner, Yael, moves into town, community members argue whether Yael, who is Dominican, can stay. Questions of safety and protection surround both Jules and Yael as the utopia of Bronx Bay confronts where the line is when it comes to defining who is Black and who gets left out in the process.
