I think this production is trying to rewrite history. Slaves calling "Overseers" husband and then in return them saying they are "In love," or calling a slave girl his"wife "
Is sugar coating scenarios that were nothing but rape! The Overseer asking the slave to sit down at the table with his white wife unbelievable and the only one who was truthful was the wife when she screamed "No!"Someone needs to get their history books out or just watch "Roots." Having slaves smiling as the overseer disrespects their wives and them by having sex with them the night before his marriage is insulting. Having slaves smirk at another as one hops in the front seat of the overseer cart is ridiculous because we all know what part of a buggy a slave would be in. Trying to rewrite history to make slavery more humane will not work. You are pulling the wool over no one's eyes.
