Dr du Bois and Miss Ovington

Dr du Bois and Miss Ovington
Clare Coss's new play takes up the relationship between W E B Du Bois and Mary White Ovington, two co-founders of the N A A C P They find themselves unexpectedly alone together in their Manhattan office one Sunday morning in June 1915 With Du Bois furiously intent on resigning from the association over racial hostilities in its leadership, the drama hinges on Ovington's efforts to assuage his anger and save their organization in the hour before he must depart to catch a train The two share a love of justice, a faith in interracial solidarity, and a simmering desire for one another It performs the admirable work of bringing to light her otherwise untold story as a collaborator, partner, and would-be lover to one of America's leading intellectuals. - From Joseph Cermatori's review in The Village Voice
