The Dead Kid

Another African-American has just been killed by another policeman under another set of questionable circumstances. The repetitiveness of such news echoes through The Dead Kid as it again and again replays the events following the killing, the characters' shallowness turning the tragedy into an absurd comedy in which the dead kid, whose story this is, is rarely mentioned. The first act takes us three times through the same series of events. In the second act, things get wilder.
