THE STORIES: PLANTATION deals with a rich and racist plantation owner awaiting the birth of his first son--who proves to be black. The startling revelations which follow lead to blackmail, mayhem and sudden death, all wildly antic. (3 men, 2 women). SHOES is a subtle and telling character study of three black boys and their flamboyant plans for spending the money they have earned during summer employment at a Texas country club. (5 men, or 2 men, 3 boys). In CONTRIBUTION, a black grandmother sends her nervous grandson off to join a sit-in. At first it appears that she is a "good darkie," who stays aloof from such demonstrations--but the hilarious, and arresting, climax of the play reveals that she has her own method of helping in the struggle for her people's rights. (1 man, 2 women).
