It is the eve of Obama's first election. Four of Harvard University's brightest; a surgeon, an actress, a psychologist, and a neuro-psychiatrist, are all interested in different aspects of the brain, particularly how it responds to race. But like all smart people, they are also searching for love, success, and identity in their own lives. Lydia Diamond brings these characters together in this sharp, witty play about social and sexual politics.

Review:
"Seldom do contemporary American plays tap so directly into the cultural conversation as it’s happening."—David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
"Writing with wit, verve, a shrewd eye for portraiture and an equally shrewd ear for the tells and giveaways of invidious racial assumptions, Diamond has created a quartet of complex, flawed, intriguing, and, yes, smart people." —Boston Globe
"A sexy, serious, and very, very funny modern-day comedy of manners." —Variety
