Synopsis: | I am a woman who came from the cotton fields of the South. From there I was promoted to the washtub. From there I was promoted to the cook kitchen. And from there I promoted myself into the business of manufacturing hair goods and preparations. . .I have built my own factory,' says Delilah McAndrew, the protagonist of this play. In fact it is a quote from the self-styled Madame C,J. Walker, the child of recently freed slaves born in 1867 who went on to create products such as her 'Wonderful Hair Grower' and become the first African-American millionaire and a well-known philanthropist. She featured on a US postage stamp in 1998 and there is still a theatre, named after her, that she built as part of her company's premises in Indianapolis. The play is essentially her story, retold through fictional characters. Actor-dancer turned playwright Theresa Roche has changed some of the family details but this is still the story of one of the first free-born Blacks of the American South following her from share-cropping poverty to a mansion outside New York, the image of the actual house among the projections used to mark some of the important moments of her career. | |||||
