Jackie Sibblies Drury goes further in the black diaspora play, which attempted to regain the lost voice of the past and rewrite history, and points out the dangers of racial prejudice. At the same time, it suggests that theater can serve as an ethical space to present a fair view of race. The direction Drury’s play pursues is to properly understand and empathize with others who had the nature of the involuntary inherited trauma heritage. The most important part of drury’s play is to break the repetitive link of racial prejudice and find an opportunity to change for the generation living in the present. Drury reveals the prevalent racial prejudice through the Fairview, and the white mainstream audience realizes that (s)he is the cause of the unknown uncomfortable gaze and anxiety felt by the Fraser family as the play progresses. The audience’s participation, which is the biggest feature of this play and breaks down the concept of traditional plays, is Drury’s unique playwriting method to rethink and change the audience’s perception. This point is the moment that proves the performance that gives the audience a sensory experience at this moment. Drury’s play suggests that the theater needs a broad perspective and ethical change on others, that is, minorities.
