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.

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
