Beschreibung
Three young basketball stars learn that winning in life is more than scoring three-pointers. In this anthology, three inimitable playwrights each take us to their home court, offering stories of resilience, teamwork, and determination. What this collection drives home is that much like art, sports are often both personal and. political. In Flex. by Candrice Jones, the players on the 1998 Lady Train High School basketball team are all towing the line between championship aspirations and college scouting season. But the pressures come to a head when the girls turn on each other. What does it mean to weigh your individual future—one far from Plainnole, Arkansas—over the good of the team. Lauren Yee's The Great Leap. zeroes in on Manford Lum. A hotshot basketball player from San Francisco’s Chinatown, he talks his way onto a college basketball team, which is set to travel to Beijing for a “friendship” game. When they arrive, however, they find a country in the throes of the late 1980s post-Cultural Revolution era—and a brewing rebellion that will soon test the tolerance of the post-Mao Communist Party. Finally, at the center of American Fast. by Kareem Fahmy is Khady Salama, college basketball phenom and her team's star player. Things come to a tipping point when the March Madness tournament collides with grieving her father, a breakup, and Ramadan. Can she keep it together when she's thrust into the spotlight as the example of modern Muslim womanhood. Or, to come out on top, will Khady have to admit to some foul play.
