Synopsis: | Bayard Rustin was born in 1912 and died in 1987. He conceived, and was the prime organizer behind, the famous March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in August of 1963, at which Martin Luther King delivered his unforgettable 'I Have a Dream' speech. Just a few weeks prior to the March, Rustin was denounced on the floor of the United States Senate by Strom Thurmond, for the charge of 'sex perversion' stemming from a lewd vagrancy charge ten years earlier. Despite such attacks, Rustin remained extraordinarily open about, and comfortable with, his sexual orientation throughout his adult life. The play examines the complicated life of this important figure through a series of kaleidoscopic scenes that range from 1940 through 1987 and mirror the turbulent changes which America itself endured during those years. The play's complex portrait of Rustin is created through the accumulation of many diverging perspectives on Rustin from people who knew him throughout his life-including lovers, friends and foes | |||||
