In this response, director and dramaturge Kate Mendeloff discusses her choice to expand Mercilee M. Jenkins's play Spirit of Detroit from a two-actor performance to one that included an ensemble of ten actors—five white and five black. She describes the staging of the crucial scene of police brutality at the Algiers Motel, as well as the impact of the visual and sound design on the production.Keywords: Play adaptationStagingDirectingRepresentationRace
