A Play Written in 1964 Remains Relevant Decades Later

Know Theatreis presenting 'Dutchman' written by Amiri Baraka when he was still known as LeRoi Jones.  It was written in 1964, but its relevance has not paled over the years, highlighting issues of today that remain overlooked and unresolved since then.  A professional African-American man and an aggressive white woman with enigmatic motives meet in a subway car and interact in seemingly unexpected ways, but it's a dance whose steps are pre-ordained. Director Tim Gleason talks about the themes of the play. Actors Caitlin McNichol and Kymel Yard give us a look inside these very complicated characters.https://www.wskg.org/audio/dutchmix.mp3 Photo Credit: Kat D'Andrea for Know Theatre
