In the series’ final installment, Cornerstone tours Larissa FastHorse’s play through the D/N/Lakota nations, with quietly, joyously transformative results—and learns to say goodbye.
Her ‘Thanskgiving Play’ is the first play by a Native woman playwright on Broadway, but you can leave your virtue-signaling and tragedy-porn expectations at the door.
With her satire of performative wokeness, the Native American writer strives to subtly rewire audiences’ default responses.
