Sinopsis

á &ldquo,FATHERS AND SONS contains many pungent exchanges, and a meaningful subject: the estrangement of fathers and sons through several generations of African-American men and how it might be healed.á áThe omnipresent phantom Benard Goodwater áis the bad daddy incarnate&mdash,a trumpet-toting, be-bopping ne&rsquo,er-do-well, who serves as a jive Greek chorus.á áHe was clearly a lousy father to his haunted son Leon. And Leon returned the disfavor to his own offspring Marcus, by becoming a coke-sniffing, child-neglecting womanizer himself.á áIn FATHERS AND SONS, the two living relations, and the ghostly one, confront one another during a family crisis&hellip,á áBradford&rsquo,s dialogue can sizzle and sting, and he exhibits a real flair for sexy romantic banter. That gift is exploited in the more intimate, sensuous scenes&hellip,á áClearly, the playwright wants to explore how a man like Marcus can overcome a legacy of parental neglect and misogyny to forge a committed marriage&mdash,and maybe even a reconciliation with his father.&rdquo,Misha Berson, Seattle Timesá
