Three plays at the crossroads of Detroit’s history

The Detroit Project gathers Paradise Blue, Detroit ’67, and Skeleton Crew into a cycle that connects the city’s past and present with questions of race and policing, labor and recession, and property ownership and gentrification. These social and economic pressures are explored through characters and relationships, giving the collection a personal scale alongside its broader portrait of Detroit. The publisher describes the plays as looking toward complex, hopeful futures, while the book’s three-part structure offers distinct dramatic entry points into the city’s sociopolitical history.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in contemporary drama rooted in Detroit and its history
  • Those seeking plays that engage with race, labor, policing, and gentrification
  • Readers who enjoy collections organized around connected social themes

Book overview

Three provocative dramas, Paradise Blue, Detroit '67 and Skeleton Crew, make up Dominique Morisseau's The Detroit Project, a play cycle examining the sociopolitical history of Detroit. Each play sits at a cross-section--of race and policing, of labor and recession, of property ownership and gentrification--and comes alive in the characters and relationships that look toward complex, hopeful futures. With empathetic storytelling and an ear for the voices of her home community, Morisseau brings to life the soul of Detroit, past and present.
