Guess Who's Coming To Dinner

"Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" has long been considered a touchstone in the ongoing conversation around race and interracial relationships. The film, released in 1967 at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, was a bold statement in its depiction of a white couple grappling with the reality of their daughter's engagement to a black man. This stage adaptation, directed by Denise Baker, brings the film's legacy to life for modern audiences, inviting us to confront the ways in which we still grapple with the same issues of racial and cultural difference. Through its sharp wit and insightful commentary, the play sheds light on the lingering biases that persist in our society and challenges us to examine the progress we have made since the film's release more than five decades ago. In a time when discussions of race, privilege, and diversity are at the forefront of the national conversation, "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" is a relevant and necessary reminder of the work that still needs to be done. The play invites us to engage with its themes and consider how we can continue to move towards a more inclusive and equitable future.
