What is Marys Seacole about? Racism. Sexism. Feminism. Misogynism. Colonialism. Narcissism. And that’s just the first half (of an intermission-less evening). None of these isms intrudes didactily in the least upon this engrossing, over-stuffed, deeply disturbing extravaganza of a play that the award-winning young playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury has conjured here. Rapt engagement with her rapid-fire fantasia pretty much scatters all peripheral thoughts of theme and even meaning to the wind.
