Terry Teachout at the Wall Street Journal raves, Conflict is at once soft-spoken and emotionally direct, the cast is first-rate, John McDermott’s two sets look as though they’d come straight out of a time machine, and the camerawork is lucid and discreet. https://www.google.com//conflict-review-political-comedy-o

In response to the national conversation surrounding Black Lives Matter, we at the Mint would like to affirm our solidarity with those who are currently seeking social justice. It is our mission to unearth lost plays and playwrights and we now commit to searching out some of the lost plays by Black writers of the Harlem Renaissance and beyond. We will share our discoveries with you in a monthly newsletter, from now until the end of this year. First up, is the prolific Eulalie Spence.

Eulalie Spence was a Black playwright, teacher, director, and actress who immigrated to New York City from the British West Indies. She was an influential member of the Harlem Renaissance, writing fourteen plays, at least five of which were published during her lifetime. Spence, who described herself as a "folk dramatist" who made plays for fun and entertainment, was considered one of the most experienced female playwrights of the early 20th century, and received arguably mor...e recognition than other Black playwrights of the Harlem Renaissance period. She presented several plays with W.E.B. Du Bois' Krigwa Players, and was also an early mentor to theatrical producer Joseph Papp, founder of The Public Theater. Perhaps most notably, she became the first Black woman to be produced on Broadway in 1927 after a one night bill of her play The Fool's Errand. See more

The Mint has been justly acclaimed for rediscovering a great many lost plays and playwrights, but its most singular achievement is the bright light it has cast ...on Irish dramatic literature of the last century, revealing a corpus of acutely written, highly playable works, most of which have been seen in this country fleetingly if at all. Many theatre companies offer fine productions; very few of them open up an entire world to their audiences. The Mint can rightly claim to have done so.--David Barbour See more
