When the action leaves the house to involve the FBI, the play loses its way, becoming clumsy and overstated. But “Bronzeville” regains its footing in the last scene. Two very different cultures unite for a moment of prayer and mourning, the play’s final image a poignant reminder of how the freedoms we take so easily for granted are paid for in blood and tears.

Director Ben Guillory does a fine job directing this provocative piece. Woolfolk and Toyama’s script is well-written and subtly explores philosophical and moral issues that are as relevant today as they were then.

Bronzeville is easily the best play I have seen in years. Set in Los Angeles during the second World War, it’s a story of an African American family moving into the home of a Japanese American family that has been interned. Co-written by a Japanese American (Tim Toyama) and an African American (Aaron Woolfolk), it is historically accurate and incredibly relevant today. The story is well written and incredibly well acted.

While there is emotional power in the script, there are a few rough edges. We don’t really know about Henry’s life before or after and his relationship with his father (who we don’t see until the end). There are no scenes between Henry and his father (Dana Lee). Under the director Ben Guillory, the scenes when Henry is being interrogated do not play well and come off stilted and Henry’s conversion isn’t entirely convincing.

Presented by the Robey Theatre Company, Bronzeville reignites the conflict and social disorder of the West Coast events surrounding Pearl Harbor with insight, dignity, and a touch of charm.

Bronzeville beautifully reminds us to take stock of what it is we may be all too hastily trying to protect. A tad tentative returning from intermission, again, the play soon enough warms and captivates. Overall, a sweet experience, a joy, and a poignant reminder. Especially good performances by Larry Powell and CeCe Antoinette.
