In this episode, we take an inquisitive peek into the multilayered work of Creole playwright Victor Sejour—a dramatist who wielded satire like a weapon against 19th-century social prejudices and used real life tragedy to instigate audience introspection.

We analyze one of his plays as part of our Morality theme, and tear into meaty issues like codified racism, the many facets of motherhood and self-identification.

Please join us as we try to read a little more, write a little better, and explore the human condition—together!
