Flop, Fine or Fringe-tastic? Fringe-tastic.
Writing a play based on personal experience is a careful balancing act. Make it too personal and you risk it confusing a diverse audience. Marcus Salley recognizes this dynamic, and in Cracked has crafted a deeply personal meditation on his grandfather that also ties in still-relevant ideas about black fatherhood and what it means to be a man.
Cracked is playing at the Logan Fringe Arts Space on July 16 at 2:45 p.m. July 22 at 6:15 p.m. and July 24 at 4 p.m.
