Overview

Lolita Chakrabarti's play creates imagined experiences based on the little-known, but true, story of Ira Aldridge. London, 1833. There are riots on the streets protesting the Slavery Abolition Act. Inside the Theatre Royal, tragic actor Ira Aldridge is making history. Fresh from dazzling success in the capitals of Europe, he is about to become the first African American actor to play Othello in London, where the play was created. The conflict inside the theater mirrors that on stage and outside: what price will artists pay for their audacity? Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 2:00pm.
