About this eBook
It's 1967 in Detroit. Motown music is getting the party started, and Chelle and her brother Lank are making ends meet by turning their basement into an after-hours joint. But when a mysterious woman finds her way into their lives, the siblings clash over more much more than the family business. As their pent-up feelings erupt, so does their city, and they find themselves caught in the middle of the '67 riots.
Detroit '67 is presented in association with Classical Theatre of Harlem and the National Black Theatre.
Detroit '67 was awarded the 2014 Edward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama Inspired by American History

Beautiful play! Dominique Morriseau has done it again. Such an important message. So different from her other works, and I love it. Fell homey and raw. It really grabs your heart and holds it tight. You get to fall in love with these characters, and it keeps you on the edge of what trouble might come there way. The pacing, music, poetry, and relationships of these characters really drive the story forward. It's near perfect, if not already.
