Firepower
Play Description
With an important piece of legislation pending, treatment for a serious illness about to begin, and engagement to a woman half his age in the balance, a first-term City Councilman in Washington, D.C. is visited by his two adult sons, the younger one a gay man who must find a way to come out to his father, the older one an ex-football star who’s been living out of the country and out of touch for nearly twenty years. Both sons, in addition, carry a long-held tacit agreement that is destined to explode in their father’s face.

Press Quotes
“FIREPOWER has enough explosive material in its arsenal for half a dozen plays.” —John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
“FIREPOWER … explores the challenge of trust, honesty, respect, and love through the reunion of two generations of African American men.” —Yuko Kurahashi, San Diego Free Press
“Kermit Frazier is one of the most underrated, under-the-radar African American playwrights of his generation … [His] plays are both lyrical and richly theatrical. And while they typically deal unflinchingly with the landscape of African American life and the socio-political issues of that life, the scope of his work ranges far beyond that culture.” —Woodie King, Jr, Producing Director, New Federal Theatre
