In this “barnburner of a play” (The Washington Post), an accomplished Ivy League professor holds routine office hours with an ambitious young student to discuss her thesis: if history is written by the victors, who tells the story of the oppressed? When the two don’t see eye to eye, polite disagreements explode into a debate over race and history that threatens to derail their careers, lives and the status quo.
