It is the eve of Obama’s first election. Four of Harvard University’s brightest; a surgeon, an actress, a psychologist, and a neuro-psychiatrist, are all interested in different aspects of the brain, particularly how it responds to race. But like all smart people, they are also searching for love, success, and identity in their own lives. Lydia R. Diamond brings these characters together in this sharp, witty play about social and sexual politics.
“…a sexy, serious, and very, very funny modern-day comedy of manners.” VARIETY, Read More
“…crisp and clever dialogue…Smart People is very funny because it reflects a very sympathetic human foible; the desire to resolve our racial conflicts without messing things up every time we open our mouths.” BROADWAYWORLD.COM, Read More
“Splendid! Diamond…draw[s] laughs even as she firmly pushes back against the notion that we’re living in a ‘post-racial society.’” BOSTON GLOBE, Read More
