Weekly Pick-of-the-Week \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Set in the 1980's, this award-winning and controversial four-character domestic drama explores the dysfunctional dynamics at work beneath an affluent African-American family's appearance of perfection. The husband \u0026amp; father, a lawyer, is in denial about his family crisis, and is equally detached from his ethnic soul. The wife \u0026amp; mother, a former actress, is on the verge of alcoholism and is threatened by her cunning daughter in the home and perhaps the bedroom. The brilliant and brooding young gay son, at odds with his father, leaves his Ivy League college to come home and save his family...by any devastating means necessary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clay, Stanley Bennett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781548069360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.21d","brand":"Stanley Bennett Clay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32749397082187,"sku":"9781548069360","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_0866a5ce-1385-4e5e-a44f-cba7591d44dc.jpg?v=1597788770","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/ritual-a-play-in-two-acts-9781548069360","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
