What is This Is How It Goes : A Play about?

<p>Belinda and Cody Phipps <i>appear</i> a typical Midwestern couple: teenage sweethearts, children, luxurious home. Typical except that Cody is black—"rich, black, and different," in the words of Belinda, who finds herself attracted to a former (white) classmate. As the battle for her affections is waged, Belinda and Cody frankly doubt the foundation of their initial attraction, opening the door wide to a swath of bigotry and betrayal. Staged on continually shifting moral ground that challenges our received notions about gender, ethnicity, and even love itself, <i>This Is How It Goes</i> unblinkingly explores the myriad ways in which the wild card of race is played by both black and white in America.</p>
