FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT

One of the things I love most about the original Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner is that it’s a love story. I love love stories. You know why? Because they are predictable. It’s the predictability that gives us comfort and makes us feel good watching the journey—love will always win. You’re rooting for the couple the whole time and, finally, at the end you get the satisfaction of seeing it all work out. They have proven that love conquers all.

But does it?

I believe that true love forces you to confront who you are, who you were, and who you hope to be. I hope you enjoy the story of these young lovers learning how to see each other while falling in love. What they see will determine if love can really win.

In this story, feel free to root for the love that sees.
