INDIANA --- There's nothing subtle about the idea of two former slaves and their former master creating a makeshift Passover meal as the Civil War is ending. But tempered with subtle, nuanced performance by its trio of actors, a remarkably well-paced script from playwright Matthew Lopez, direction that allows time for the complex emotions to percolate, and design that's gorgeous and sad, the Indiana Repertory Theatre's production of "The Whipping Man"—is sublime, easily the best show so far in the IRT season.
