**** Highly Recommended   The Goodman Theatre production of "The Nacirema Society" is quite simply outstanding!   The play is centered on the women of the Dunbar family of Montgomery, Alabama and their long-time connection to the Nacirema (American spelled backwards) Society, whose members consider themselves to be the crème de la crème of Negro society.  Pearl Cleage has written a dynamic play about privilege that still manages to be laugh-out-loud funny; the cast is stellar and the set is awesome!  It reminded me a lot of Noel Coward’s plays – in which good manners will prevail over all. 4 BIG Spotlights
