Seattlest: Are you really calling this a review? No doubt they play struggles in areas and the reporter storyline leaves much to be desired but what about the excellent acting? Way to give away the character also. This really does not come to light until the end and some people still weren't sure if he was gay. A real stretch saying his gayness brought his demise. Are you kidding? If you recall the entire family dies, not just the gay one. Old whitey lives while the entire rooftop black family dies. It was more about negligence causing his death, not his sexual preference.

Plenty to complain about in this production. How about towards the end where the NY reporter, after just lecturing the black woman on the importance of telling the truth, becuase rumors are dangerous, returns to his editor to lecture him on why he should be allowed to print rumors, because it will somehow a mass of rumors will somehow collectively lead to the truth? I would say they need a continuity editor - except these scenes were about 2 minutes apart. And what about the normally excellent Alyward with his wandering southern accent?
