“When Black Boys Die,” written and directed by William Electric Black, is a drama about a teenage girl’s journey as she tries to understand the madness of gun violence that has killed her brother and consumed her mother (and so many other mothers who have also lost their sons to inner city violence). It is the second in a series of five plays by William Electric Black, to be collectively called “GUNPLAYS,” that address inner city violence and guns. William Electric Black (a.k.a. Ian Ellis James) is a multiple Emmy Award winner, former writer for Sesame Street, and Camp Kinderland parent.
