Orlando Shakes presents ‘Fairview’

Orlando Shakes presents a staged reading of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize winning play Fairview by Jackie Sibblies Drury, a searing examination of families, drama and the insidiousness of white supremacy.

At the Frasier household, preparations for Grandma’s birthday party are underway. Beverly is holding on to her sanity by a thread to make sure this party is perfect, but her sister can’t be bothered to help, her husband doesn’t seem to listen, her brother is MIA, her daughter is a teenager, and maybe nothing is what it seems in the first place…! Fairview begins as an easygoing comedy about a middle-class black family gathering for a birthday dinner and ends somewhere else entirely. A play about race, though not only about race, it ultimately brings the audience into the actors’ community to face the deep-seated prejudices of our society.
