| The African Company Presents Richard III |
|
Event Description
by Carlyle Brown
Directed by Chuck Mike
1821, New York. While slavery still ravages a divided nation, Billy Brown's African Company has mounted a financial and critical success with its all-black production of Shakespeare's Richard III. But the all-white Park Theatre next door is mounting its own production and they will stop at nothing to subdue their increasingly popular competition. Based on the little known true history of America's first black theatre company, Carlyle Brown eloquently tells the story of a small group of actors prepared to stand up and take center stage whatever the cost.
After a staged reading at the Modlin Center for the Arts in spring 2009, followed by a U.K. tour, the University of Richmond Department of Theatre and Dance and the University Players are proud to present this production in collaboration with the African American Repertory Theatre and Collective Artistes (U.K.). |
