I chat with playwright and actor Rosamund Small about her latest work, Performance Review, presented by Outside the March Theatre Company. The solo performance explores some of the difficulties women experience in the world of work.

Then, I'll have a focus on Beah Richards in her own words. If the name sounds familiar, she is best known to the general public for her Oscar-nominated role as Sidney Poitier's mother in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Besides being a movie actress, Beah Richards was a TV and stage actress and a writer. She is the subject of the award-winning documentary Beah: A Black Woman Speaks by Lisagay Harden. Today, you'll hear a clip from the film and a performance by Beah of her work A Black Woman Speaks of White Womanhood, of White Supremacy, of Peace.

The film won the Grand Jury Prize at the AFI Film Festival and A Peabody. You can find out more about LisaGay at https://www.lisagayhamilton.com
