Excluded as a Negro from the major leagues during his prime, Troy's bitterness takes it's toll on his relationships with both his wife and son who now wants his own chance to play. Revived in 2010 starring Denzel Washington in the lead role.

California Shakespeare Theater Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

California Shakespeare Theater is at 701 Heinz Ave, Berkeley, CA.

Over the past four decades, Cal Shakes has become a cornerstone of Bay Area Theater, producing works from the Shakespeare canon and beyond, including New Classics that expand and reframe the concept and ownership of “classic theater.” Under the leadership of Artistic Director Eric Ting, we have honed three pillars of our work (MAKE, LEARN, and ENGAGE) into a focused approach to create art that represents the best of what we can do, nurture a culture of learning where we are both teacher and student, and forge community by dismantling barriers to participation.
