Good morning, America! Welcome to Hanover Middle School, where a pair of teachers are getting down and dirty with today's lesson. The duo tackle race, sex and power politics in this R-rated, kaleidoscopic, and fearless comedy. The 2017 Obie Award winner and Time Out New York's Best of 2016, Underground Railroad Game is 'in-all-ways sensational' (New York Times) and 'explosive! fearlessly, ferociously uninhibited, and wildly entertaining' (New Yorker).
