BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
For a long time, Jackson and Jacob have been planning to talk about Fairview by Jackie Sibblies Drury as the first episode of Season Five. In the wake of the murder of George Floyd, America is finally facing a racial reckoning which makes the discussion of plays like Fairview all the more important.
... But, it is not lost on the boys of No Script that their perspective as two white men is a limited one. In this special episode, Jackson and Jacob have cut their typical hour long conversation into a half hour segment. As a No Script listener, you are strongly encouraged to use the remaining time to listen to or read an additional perspective on the play.
For your convenience, we have collected three stellar pieces that you can encounter.
