The America Play By Suzan-Lori Parks Directed by Edris Cooper-Anifowoshe
Can black identity ever truly be formed when it is constructed upon white history? This question cuts to the heart of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parkss powerful and provocative The America Play. With echoes of Samuel Beckett and James Joyce, Parkss unique theatricality and expressive language impressively interrogate American history through the eyes of a single black man, a gravedigger known as the Foundling Father. Laced throughout with wickedly irreverent and incisive humor, the play cuts through to the painful truth that the unlearned facts of history make fools of us all. The America Play exposes what Parks calls The gap between the promise and the reality of this country, and that is a wound.
