A satirical look at the excesses of political correctness.

Each of the vignettes the playwright wrote about our new age of political correctness (“Offend Me Not”) were telling and to the point. Despite the problems of mounting performances during the scourge of Covid-19, each of the plays rose above the unusual challenges. The post- performance discussion was superb. Its unique sensitivity, honesty and openness made it worthy of wide dissemination on its own.
