  3. An Octoroon


Winner of the 2014 Obie Award for Best New American Play, An Octoroon is an incendiary, subversively funny exploration of contemporary cultural politics set against the backdrop of the Antebellum South. Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (author of Neighbors, Appropriate) radically revises a popular 19th century melodrama - complete with blushing Southern belles, dastardly schemes, and budding forbidden romances - for today's "post-racial," spectacle-obsessed world.
