Lynda Gravátt, who starred in such productions as 45 Seconds From Broadway, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Old Settler, and Intimate Apparel, died on Feb. 23. She was 76. I’m really not ready to write anything. I’ve written so many things for my beloved Artist Mother. Mentor. Muse. So many plays. Good ones. Mediocre ones. Borderline bad ones. She’s said yes to them all.

I wrote The Emcee Inquisition in 2009. It had a staged reading at the Page-to-Stage Festival in Washington, DC, in 2010, but the text has never been published. The play explores pervasive misogyny in hip-hop (and in the mainstream intellectual sphere) through the story of a married couple. Naima, once a successful hip-hop photographer, has had her career—and life—derailed by a sexual assault some years prior.
