N
by Adrienne Earle Pender Oct 22 – 23, 2022 Rhythm Industry Performance Factory 1013 S Tyndall Ave, Tucson, AZ 85719 Eugene O'Neill's groundbreaking 1921 play, The Emperor Jones, was the first American play that featured an African-American actor in the lead role on Broadway. Charles S. Gilpin's portrayal of Emperor Brutus Jones was hailed as "revelatory," and he was named the finest actor of the age. But by 1926, O'Neill was a legend and Gilpin was lost to history. N explores the challenging relationship between Gilpin and O'Neill and how it ultimately hinged on one word; a word that lifted one of them to heights of American theatre, and a word that destroyed the other. |
This production is directed by Dawn McMillan, and features Je Moore, Eric Rau, and Tanisha Ray.
