The genre- and gender-bending play, at Shakespeare & Company through October 7, begins with a homecoming and ends with an expulsion. In between, it tackles themes of gender and identity, power and privilege, dysfunction and abuse, love and hate – and one of the most compelling things about it is the ways in which those categories overlap and converge.

Playwright Taylor Mac has described Hir as “a kitchen-sink drama.” Which is fair, as long as you understand that the sink in question is full of filthy dishes and fresh vomit. The genre- and gender-bending play is at Shakespeare & Company through October 7.

I have to challenge the comments made by Malita Brown (Sept 21-27) in regards to radical Christian t...errorism being connected to Hitler / Nazis, Timothy McVeigh, Dylan Roof, KKK, and white supremacist and comparing it to radical Islamic terrorists and making it equivalent. Radical Islamic terrorist are practicing members of Islam at the time of their crimes (as adults) and also were support by members of a mosque and their clergy. However, the Christian examples that Mrs. Brown cited were practicing their faith under the influence of their parents during their adolescence only and were anti-theist, atheist, or agnostic when their crimes were committed and did not have support or funding from the clergy or members of any congregation. This omission makes Brown's comments hollow of any thoughtful reasoning. As an example Hitler flirted even with the priesthood as a youth but ended up persecuting the Catholic Church as an adult and leader. She continued off the rails stating that the Alt Right is in alliance with the Bible in various left wing issues which without stating certain qualifications and explanations, makes her comments just a rant of misinformation. Her hatred of Trump is so intense that she loses control over what is the truth and what is just a myth. She also likes to pontificate about racism while her safe Wilbraham residence assures her verified 123&Me white European DNA. See More
