Phillip Vassallo
This animated comedy thrusts two young men on stage, one black and one white. Each has been victimized by the same crime. One at a time, they tell their story while the other plays humorous supporting roles to enhance the narrative. The back assails everyone he sees in the white world: neighborhood greasers, sociology professors and sleazy businesmen. Reverese discrimination, violence perpetrated by blacks and the impotent justice system form the core of the white man's tale. Their tirades culminate in an explosive confrontation- one's sister was stabbed to death and the other was charged with the crime and then exonerated.
