[Alexis Smith · Rating 2 out of 5]

When it wasn't wildly racist, it was pretty funny. In Act 2, Scene 2 the script starts aggressively making gross caricatures of Japanese culture. Act 3 has a character pretending to be a voodoo queen from Haiti with mock accent and dialect. Horribly problematic, which is unfortunate, because it was otherwise a very funny read.
