Reviews
Trouble in Mind feels like a valuable rediscovery, and at its best marshalls important arguments with a fine mix of sadness, passion and humor., Fascinating... A frank look at mid-1950s social attitudes, and also acommentary on the discomfort between Blacks and whites that remains relevant today...A rich, unsettling play that lives up to its title, Trouble in Mind lingersin one's memory long after its conclusion., Fresh and bold, Trouble in Mind , which premiered in 1955, feelsbang up-to-date in its scrutiny of the ways in which people who blithely asserttheir liberal credentials are capable of racism., An original play, full of vitality... Miss Childress has some witty and penetratingthings to say about the dearth of roles for Negro actors in the contemporarytheater, the cut-throat competition for these parts and the fact that Negroactors often find themselves playing stereotyped roles in which they cannotbring themselves to believe., A rich, unsettling play that lives up to its title, Trouble in Mind lingers in one's memory long after its conclusion., With scathing wit and bold candor, Trouble in Mind stakes out territory where few playwrights, today or more than 50 years ago, have dared to tread., Painfully relevant... One is gradually struck by how bracingly prophetic thelate playwright's script turns out to be., "An originalplay, full of vitality... Miss Childress has some witty and penetrating things tosay about the dearth of roles for Negro actors in the contemporary theater, thecut-throat competition for these parts and the fact that Negro actors often findthemselves playing stereotyped roles in which they cannot bring themselves tobelieve." -- New York Times , 1955 "Sixty-sixyears late and still on time, the play most of the moment is only now gettingthe mainstream attention that it deserves. Alice Childress's 1955 Trouble inMind , a play about power and race in the theater, is a satire and tragedythat deserves to be a classic." -- New York Times , 2021 "In Trouble in Mind , Childress fearlessly unmasks the theater's deeplyrooted racism. Something that the playwright struggled with in the '50s stillchimes loudly in the present day. In the aftermath of the country's racialreckoning and amid the ongoing call for Black lives to matter, a predominantlywhite-run American theater industry has finally held a mirror up to itself.What the Great White Way is only fully recognizing now, Childress long agodetailed in Trouble in Mind ." -- Variety
