DUTCHMAN is an emotionally charged and highly symbolic version of the Adam and Eve story, set on a subway car, was the first critical success for playwright/activist LeRoi Jones, aka Amiri Baraka. THE SLAVE is an examination of racial tension in contemporary America, this play is the story of Walker Vessles, a Black man who visits the home of his ex-wife, a white woman now married to a white professor. Our production will be unlike any of this classic play done before it. DUTCHMAN AND THE SLAVE will be done as one play. Act One and Act Two.
