Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Detroit comes by its bad reputation honestly -- as a struggling city and as shorthand for the American auto industry. When confronted with a play entitled "Detroit Dealers," car dealers aren't the first kind of dealers that spring to mind. Yet, in Europe, Detroit still is the Motor City, Motown, "The Sound of Young America," Detroit techno -- the pulsating, rhythmic assembly line for the American dream of individual autonomy, constant movement and material progress.

Review: 'Detroit Dealers' frequently hilarious, oddly affecting
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Detroit comes by its bad reputation honestly -- as a struggling city and as shorthand for the American auto industry. When confronted with a play entitled "Detroit Dealers," car dealers aren't the first kind of dealers that spring to mind. Yet, in Europe, Detroit still is the Motor City, Motown, "The Sound of Young America," Detroit techno -- the pulsating, rhythmic assembly line for the American dream of individual autonomy, constant movement and material progress.
I think the concept of bringing together drugs and the auto industry is a period piece about Detroit is interesting, but I am not sure where the appeal is on a greater scale. The article mentions a very basic synopsis and a few characters, but does not tell why the idea is a good one or even go into enough detail about the plot to spark my interest. What I get from the article is that an opal dealer goes to Detroit which interested me but then it mentions unraveling a family history (pre-established? Or is this guy the history?). It might be an interesting topic, but the article makes the story line seem jumbled.
