‘Fairview’ at Canadian Stage asks white audiences to consider an alternate point of view
The woman in question is Beverly , a mother, wife and daughter preparing for her own mother’s birthday dinner. From the outset, something seems off: the boom box doesn’t seem to work and Beverly is positively vibrating with nervous energy.
Not to fear, though: soon Beverly’s sister Jasmine arrives, trying to remove dairy from her diet. She’s quick to tease Beverly for her nervousness, but the sisters are close and more than once they break into free-spirited, languid dance . But Keisha can sense there’s something strange in the air. She’s not like everyone else and she knows it; she just doesn’t know exactly how. She can’t seem to find the words.
But the second run-through of the preparations is a far less charming affair. Gone are the in-jokes of the Frasier family, their songs and their silliness. In their place is uncouth, uncomfortable commentary from an ignorant and even vicious outside audience, whom we can just barely glimpse through the curtains of the Frasier home.
