THE STORY: Have you seen the new neighbors?
Classics professor Richard Patterson is not happy.
The family of black entertainers that has moved in next door is an embarrassment—loud, raucous, tacky, and shameless.
They’re not just taking over the neighborhood—they’re infiltrating his perfect, interracial family and his perfect, post-racial sanity.
In its scathing exploration of denial and satire of black entertainment from minstrelsy to hip-hop, NEIGHBORS is a shocking, explosive, and wildly theatrical play.
Neighbors (Jacobs-Jenkins) is a comedy play written by Branden Jacobs-jenkins and published by Dramatists Play Service .
