Giving Voice: An Afternoon With Playwright Lydia Diamond

Lydia R. Diamond recently made her Broadway debut with her play Stick Fly. Her many award-winning plays, produced at theaters and universities around the country, address complex issues of race and slavery. She says she finds it healing to tell such stories, that giving these issues a voice and a context is empowering. Boston Globe theater critic Louise Kennedy wrote, "Diamond always examines these huge topics through a specific human lens, and she always lets her characters reveal themselves rather than explaining them." Ms. Diamond is currently on the faculty at Boston University.
