Theater is Easy: Uniform Justice Review

At first glance, Uniform Justice seems like it would be a typical social justice play responding to police altercations with racial minorities across the nation (and specifically, police relationships with the Memphis community, where the Mayor’s office commissioned the play)…but then, it’s not.

Rather than a play that merely blames all police officers or all community members who “incite” the police, Uniform Justice encourages empathy on all sides, standing out rhetorically and artistically. Not only is the play a timely commentary alongside the highly publicized police altercations in the past year, but it also offers a unique, insightful, and not didactic way to promote understanding on all sides and inspire change.
