  • "No Nappy Headed Grandchildren" and My Swedish Grandmother" - by Campbell and Merrin

    First of all, I want to wish you all the very best of holidays, full of joy and peace and, yes, hope. 

    Then, I give you this delightful piece of theater by my friend, Marilyn Campbell, now known for her transformation of Crime and Punishment into a prize-winning play, and her daughter, Maria Marrin, whom I've known since she was 12.   With its themes of being bi-racial, being the white mother of  bi-racial child, being "white," being "black," teenage rebellion, inter-generational conflict and resolution of a lifetime's issues with a dying Swedish grandmother, it is, to say the least, timely. It is also touching and funny.  Enjoy.

    love to all,
