Bringing down the house : Amiri Baraka’s 1964 play The Slave takes place during a race war and ends with a deadly house collapse. As final as that sounds, local playwright and vocalist Ti Ames (right) continues the story: See About the Girls is set 14 years later, and imagines that Walker Vessel’s biracial daughters survived the house collapse. Now young adults living in the aftermath of the war, they grapple with their father’s past, as the world around them once again begins to crack at its foundation.
