One of the American theater’s seminal writers, Adrienne Kennedy<\/strong><\/a> captures the Black experience in America in the 20th century<\/strong> with a trademark embrace of symbolism, lyricism, and mythic figures. In this world premiere production, Etta and Ella Harrison<\/strong> are talented academics on the Upper West Side\u2014as well as sisters and rivals. After a lifetime of competition, they are on the verge of destroying each other. Next-generation director Monty Cole employs a cinematic approach to this intricate blend of monologue, dialogue, voiceover, and prose in a work that is part experimental play, part narrative thriller.<\/p>\n

The program includes a post-show talk on February 24 with Monty Cole, Tori Danner, Sarahjeen Francois, Wesley T. Jones, and Maleke Clemmons; moderated by Daniel Alexander Jones.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Adrienne Kennedy is] one of the American theater\u2019s greatest and least compromising experimentalists.<\/em> \u2014 Alexis Soloski, The New York Times<\/p>\n
