| Synopsis: | Roger Guenveur Smith is Frederick Douglass Now, illuminating our present American moment with Douglass's ever-brilliant 19th century texts. The speeches, letters, and editorials of the pioneering abolitionist and feminist are bookended by Smith with original narratives, fusing Douglass's era with our own. Smith's nationally acclaimed solo performance, most recently presented at the Kennedy Center, returns to New York after sold-out engagements at Aaron Davis Hall and La MaMa, where it was originally commissioned. At the core of Smith's Douglass is the fugitive slave turned statesman, whose quest for an America free of racism, sexism, and economic deprivation is still, tragically, relevant." - press release | |||||
