Description
This intimate, confessional story examines long-seated issues of privilege and complicity at the core of America, as well as our current and explosive political moment. Jack Was Kind gives an imagined and painfully human backstory to an actual, American event that will affect the country for generations to come. "Nerve-racking ... the portrait of a woman spectacularly ill-informed about herself is at times devastating." - Jesse Green, The New York Times "This is a play about complicity - about wives who tend to their husbands' honor even when they are violent, or otherwise dangerous. But it's also about the social conditioning that taught those women, when they were girls, to put the menfolk first." - Laura Collins-Hughes, The New York Times "Devastating ... Thorne probes the nature of an unfortunately confused wife's challenge on where she places her loyalty to erring husband Jack and to teenagers Flo and Eli. Within that conundrum is the societal question of a wife's (sacred?) obligation to a husband, no matter what she knows, or suspects, he's done." - NY Stage Review
