Appropriate is a gripping stage play by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins that delves into the complexities of family dynamics and the legacy of the past. Set in a dilapidated plantation home in Arkansas, the play follows the estranged Lafayette siblings as they reunite to settle their deceased father's estate. As they sort through his belongings, they uncover disturbing secrets that challenge their perceptions of their family's history and force them to confront deep-seated tensions and unresolved issues. With its powerful themes and sharp, often darkly humorous dialogue, Appropriate explores the intersection of race, memory, and identity, examining how the past continues to shape the present.
