Upon entering Fairfax Studio at the Arts Centre Melbourne, you can’t help but notice Candy Bowers
as the Stagehand-in-Charge sitting up in her booth, playing some hip
hop music, including Khia’s racy “My Neck, My Back”. As the music plays,
she regularly glances over the audience while flicking through a
newspaper, the back page emblazoned with “Black Lives Matter”.
Considering we are about to see Young Jean Lee’s Straight White Men,
a play about a family of the four eponymous men getting together for
Christmas celebrations, the ruthless satire is punching us in the face,
especially as she makes her way down to the stage and introduces us to the make-believe world.
