This autobiographical comic drama by the noted cartoonist
about growing up in an interracial neighborhood in the 1960s enjoyed
a very successful Off-Broadway run.
Twelve-year-old best friends, one black and one white, stand by
each other through upheaval and tragedy, in spite of each family's
disapproval. Racial peer pressure eventually drives a wedge between
Edna and Bonna. Interspersed are songs of the sixties, some heard
on the victrola others performed by the cast.
