“As a storyteller, it’s important to me that I tell the stories that I believe speak to the beauty and complexity of the lives of the Black men and women I’ve known throughout my life; those I’ve broken bread with; those I’ve played basketball with in the park; those I’ve fought; those I’ve loved; those I’ve worshipped or prayed with,” said playwright Peter N. Bailey. “To see our pain, and joy, and the truth of our experience as Black people in Canada reflected unapologetically back to us is, I believe, a part of my purpose as an artist.”
