I had the privilege of being able to see this on closing day. Great show! fantastic
We kind of do know how slaves spoke. We have a collection of narratives called; Born In Slavery: Slave Narratives at the library of Congress from the Federal Writer's Project (FWP) 1936-1938. There are audio files as well as written transcripts that the writers actually wrote in the exact vernacular and dialects used by their subjects.. Zora Neale Hurston was one of the Federal Writers collecting these stories from former slaves that were still alive that recounted their experiences being slaves. Most of her subjects were elderly in their late 70s to 80s and were children when they were actually slaves. In the 1930s slavery had only been abolished for about 70+ years, making it possible to talk to people who actually were slaves in their younger years. The collection of slave narratives is accessible through the Library of Congress website, you can hear the audio files and read the written narratives yourselves if you're interested in knowing about the former slaves experience and hear how they really spoke.
You should be able to watch plays online

Why is slavery emphasized so greatly in this country? Slavery is largely over exaggerated with undocumentation. Furthermore, writing a play about the romanticism of slavery and NOT writing a play explaining indentured servitude is willful ignorance. Moreover, the language from these actor's portrayal is exactly the same vernacular used in our communities today.
