I had to say the "N" word numerous times in that play--my role was the embodiment of hideous evil racism. It was painful to play. The show didn't go further than that workshop and should have, it was wonderful and challenging and true (based on the Loving case)--but actually in today's climate, it couldn't be produced--certainly the "N" word would have to be excised--even though the point was to show how horrible racism is. This is the weirdness of our time.
