The Trial of One Short-Sighted Black Woman...
This play unfolds as a courtroom drama pitting modern black businesswoman Victoria Dryer against two stereotypes of black women from a fictional film set on a plantation in 1823: the mammy and the "Jezebel," in this case known as Safreeta Mae. Dryer accuses these icons of preventing her from being the proud black woman she should be. If these two images are the only representations of black women in the media, she argues, then other people will see all black women as fitting into these two categories.
