Imagine that it’s some time in the not-too-distant future and Chicago is more divided than ever. A massive wall topped with barbed wire runs down Roosevelt Road. Blacks who’ve accepted reparations for slavery are on one side everyone else is on the other. The wall is manned by African American snipers. Anyone who tries to escape to the North Side is shot. The Dueling Critics Kelly Kleiman and Jonathan Abarbanel review Ten Square at Pegasus Players in Chicago.
