THE OCTOROON: An Adaptation of "The Octoroon" Based on The Octoroon
Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, an American playwright ( of "Neighbors" at the Public) and Irish director Gavin Quinn (of Dublin's Pan Pan Theatre) team up for an adaptation of nineteenth-century Irish playwright Dion Boucicault's infamous melodrama about Americans. (And slavery.) A bombastic, super-theatrical, full-scale investigation of that classic intersection of theatre and identity politics, this play with real actors and real sets and real costumes seeks to understand why New York audiences can't seem to get enough of plays about Irish folks and black people and racism and, um, America?
