The full title of Pearl Cleage’s exuberant drama — “The Nacirema Society Requests the Honor of Your Presence at a Celebration of Their First One Hundred Years” — is unabashedly outsized. It’s also utterly in the spirit of Cleage’s marvelous, outsized drama.
Directed by Lili-Anne Brown at the Goodman Theatre, the production is bursting at its seams with intrigue, romance and comedy. It is also a nuanced, fraught and incongruously hilarious exploration of class privilege, generational wealth and family betrayal.
