Anti-Hate Play

Theatre is a great art, though I am not much a fan of it myself -- perhaps because plays rarely match topics that interest me. This one I might entice me to watch it, if it showed in my area:

Anti-Hate Play Was to Be Unveiled Night of US Shooting
Agence France-Presse: "A gunman attacked the Holocaust museum just hours before the unveiling of a new play about hate crimes, following an imaginary conversation between Anne Frank and a black boy lynched in Mississippi. 'Our whole play is about hate, to eradicate hate, and this is an example of hatred,' said the playwright Janet Langhart Cohen, wife of former US defense secretary William Cohen, who had been heading to the museum's theater for final rehearsals ahead of Wednesday night's premiere when the attack happened."

I wonder if it's a conversation between Anne Frank and Emmett Till. Anyway, I need to read this play; I suspect watching it would render me useless and sobbing.
