Synopsis: | College classmates Diane and Grace cordially sip cocktails in Diane's living room. Although the din of gin and tonic rises steadily throughout their reunion it is unable to drown the racket of Diane's deepest fear, that of her fourteen year old daughter Perry, whom she purposefully leaves at gymnastics practice each evening in the hope that she can forestall Perry's constant need for parenting. Diane's mother, haunted by the unfair treatment she received in her younger days during her trips to the department store, pops in and out spouting what might be deemed nonsense if it didn't ultimately reveal the roots of Diane's anxieties. Relentlessly character driven, this is a piece about confinement, and the demands of femininity in the black elite. | |||||
