by Djola Branner

Djola Branner’s first collection of dramatic work, sash & trim and other plays, “takes the reader on a journey through blackness and queerness in ways that stretch the imagination and chronicle the history of black peoples in the diaspora,” says E. Patrick Johnson, professor of Performance Studies at Northwestern University. Comprised of short plays cover (2006), oranges & honey (2005), the house that crack built (1996) and a full-length sash & trim (2008), this volume “expands the boundaries of ‘black’ art by experimenting with form, and bringing to the fore questions of gender and sexuality.”
