Friday Roundtable: How art reflects culture
This week's roundtable was inspired by the stage.
MPR News Host Kerri Miller asked three smart people to take in a viewing of "Disgraced" at the Guthrie.
It's a Pulitzer Prize winning play, and it addresses a number of cultural landmines like race, religion and identity.
The story is set in 2011, but the tensions it brings to life reflect the conflicts of today.
