Synopsis:
The particular short-sighted individual on trial in this play is Victoria, a young, upwardly mobile black woman. Expensively and stylishly dressed, her hair dyed and lacquered, Victoria has brought suit against two of the icons of the Jim Crow era--women who, by virtue of their mere persistence in contemporary culture, are holding her back. These defendants are Mammy Louise, who looks suspiciously like Aunt Jemima (from the pancake box) or Hattie McDaniel (from Gone with the Wind), and Safreeta Mae, a long-haired, wild-eyed, barefoot slave girl whom we instantly recognize from the covers of countless politically incorrect paperback bodice rippers of long ago.
