In “24, 7, 365,” playwright Nelson asks “What would the world look like if people were happy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year?” Educated African Americans’ attitudes about race, class and social activism are put under a humorous microscope as two Washington couples endure a civilized weekend camping trip for a birthday celebration and much needed rest and recuperation. One night together, complete with a misunderstood hip hop poet, a very old tree and a large bottle of vodka, complicates and ultimately illuminates their inner and outer lives.
