Neglect by Sharyn Rothstein will be the third in the UCT 2009-2010 Free Play Reading Series! Rose Ann Hayes is an elderly African-American woman. Her once middle-class Chicago neighborhood has become rundown and overrun with street thugs. Living alone, she has become afraid to even leave her apartment long enough to retrieve her daily mail. Joseph is a young, unemployed African-American man who lives in the same rundown neighborhood. During the 1995 Chicago heat wave that left over 700 Chicago residents dead, the two are thrown together by circumstance and desperation. Exploring the marginalization of two diverse black communities, the elderly and the unemployed young, Neglect is a powerful examination of the vulnerability of fear and isolation. There will be a panel discussion immediately following the reading.
