Saw this production, figured I'd look it up and comment on an article abut it seeing as how it's one of the few things on here I've actually seen. They definitely deserved the diversity award. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to sit through a production of the show with an all white cast ever again. After seeing as diverse a production as this one, I want all productions of Tennessee Williams to be more diverse. The play seemed much more lively, the casting allowed the audience to interpret the play in a way much of us had never interpreted it before.
