I went to see Slave Play this weekend in the City and was surprised to find a significant Wake Forest storyline. Did not necessarily paint Wake in a good light, but not horrific either.
Really interesting play and I'll let you google it, but the character was a lightish-skinned black guy. The gist of it is that he doesn't consider himself black so much as just the hot guy everybody wants. Until at incident at college ...
I'm curious how the playwright came to understand Wake or whether he just chose it because of our history as quasi elitist southern institution for white upper class students.
I nearly came out of my seat though because I had just been explaining to my wife Matt James' Not-for-Profit organization he started in Manhattan (ABC Food Tours) for underprivileged kids and I noted to myself the actor in Slave Play was a passing resemblance to Matt James (square jawed, tall).
Really crazy play ...
