Wow

I was introduced to the script in my drama class a few months earlier and I was blown away. Lanford Wilson's grasp of the intense racism and emotions surging through each character is extraordinary. The Gingham Dog is a realistic portrayl of a nasty separation between Gloria (a black woman) and Vincent (a white man) because of fierce prejudice and opposing morals. It is an emotional rollercoaster that plays at heartstrings and leaves the reader with a better understanding of their own mistakes and views on racial, economic, personal, and familial relationships. A simple elegant moving piece to be read by anyone who happens to come across it.
