THE STORY: A play in two plays, FLAG DAY examines white/black relations in our society with an unblinking eye. The first play, GOOD, CLEAN FUN, is a darkly funny office comedy pitting two workers - one black, one white - against each other as they try to complete a high-pressure project. The office racism intensifies as we learn that one of them has stolen the other's wife. (2 men.) The second, DOWN AND DIRTY, evokes recent white-on-black and black-on-white killings in the American South. In a style poised carefully on the edge of absurdism, we discover a man dying in a car's windshield as people argue over whether or not to save him. (3 men, 1 woman.)

"a raw-edged, cringe-inducing exercise in good old-fashioned theater of crueltyFLAG DAY is a frank, powerful, insightful, commentary on the still-poisoned status of race relations in this countryUnexpectedly balanced and provocative, FLAG DAY will have audiences peering deeply into their own souls long after they have left the darkened theater." - Washington Times.
