"Home Returns to Broadway with Nostalgic Revival"
TL;DR Summary
Samm-Art Williams’s 1979 play "Home" returns to Broadway with a mixed reception. While Tory Kittles delivers a compelling performance as Cephus Miles, the direction by Kenny Leon lacks intimacy and clear vision, resulting in uneven pacing. The play explores themes of Black migration, faith, and land ownership with humor and whimsy, but some character portrayals and repetitive jabs fall flat. Despite its flaws, "Home" remains a humorous and mythic exploration of the Black experience.
