A fictional account of the demons and dilemmas faced by Langston Hughes while attempting to write a poem on the eve of his appearance before the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations led by Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Other characters include Everett Dirksen and Roy Cohn. Performed against a backdrop of searing blues and the ever-present poetic hues of Langston. McCarthy, Dirksen, Cohn, Reeves and Schine serve as a blues chorus when not interrogating Hughes. Director Jones brings his usual innovative, dynamic, inspired and lyrical sensibilities to this important, historic and timely piece.
Guthrie Theater is at Dowling Studio, 818 South 2nd Street, Minneapolis, MN.
The Guthrie Theater opened on May 7, 1963, with a production of Hamlet directed by Sir Tyrone Guthrie, the theater’s founder. The idea for a different kind of theater sparked in 1959 during a series of conversations among Guthrie, an acclaimed theater director, and his two colleagues, Oliver Rea and Peter Zeisler, who were all disenchanted with Broadway. They envisioned a resident theater that would draw world-class artists to perform the classics with the highest professional standards. What began as a summer season of four productions supported by a minimal staff is now a complex organization that serves nearly 350,000 patrons and the Twin Cities community year-round.
