"The deftly crafted blend of shocking exaggeration and believability, politeness and fury...makesAppropriate land with th ekind of thump you rarely encounter in the theater."?i>Chicago Tribune"So energetic, funny, and entertainingly demented, you can't look away."?i>New York onAn Octoroon"Messy, bold, desperately funny, and deeply felt: Neighbors is worth getting to know."?i>Los Angeles TimesWith deft attention to familial dynamics and a tense undercurrent of socio-political realities,Appropriate harkens the likes of Tracy Letts or Sam Shepard, but with Branden Jacobs-Jenkins's unique flair for melodrama and touch of the absurd.Themes of history and racial politics permeate much of this young playwright's astounding work. This collection also includes the acclaimed playAn Octoroon, a bombastic theatrical investigation of theater and identity, wherin an old play gives way to a startlingly contemporary piece. The third play,Neighbors, uses old minstrelsy tropes to challenge what makes contemporary society comfortable, and asserts pointedly that it shouldn't be.Branden Jacobs-Jenkins's plays include An Octoroon, Neighbors,Appropriate, Gloria, and War. He is a playwright-in-residence at Signature Theatre. Recent honors include a 2014 Obie Award for Best New American Play (An Octoroon andAppropriate).
