"Fires in the Mirror." We watched about half of this in a class yesterday.  I found it quite riveting.  People should all watch this.  Anna Deavere Smith is an amazing actor.  She plays characters of sundry genders, races, and creeds here, all to excellent effect.  Woman's like a fricking chameleon.

Ooh you've seen it onstage? I'm curious, was there an ensemble cast, or just one person playing all the roles? I think it was originally written as a one-person act, but I could see doing it with an ensemble as well.

It was a college production--they did it as an ensemble, but it'd be interesting to see it as a one-woman show (as I believe it was originally written, too).
