| Synopsis: | Have you seen the new neighbors? Richard Patterson is not happy. The family of black actors that has moved in next door is loud, tacky, shameless, and uncouth. And they are not just infiltrating his neighborhood-they threaten his reputation, his family, and his entirely post-racial lifestyle. This new play on race marks the major debut of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, a member of the Public's Emerging Writers Group. - nytheatre.com | |||||

| Synopsis: | This is an adaptation of 19th century Irish playwright Dion Boucicault's notorious melodrama about Americans. (And slavery.) A bombastic, super-theatrical, full-scale investigation of the sweetest of intersections-theatre and identity politics-this play with real actors and real sets and real costumes seeks to understand why New York audiences can't seem to get enough of plays about black people and racism and, um, America? - nytheatre.com | |||||
