American Moor


EXTENDED BY POPULAR DEMAND!

An actor auditions for the title role in Othello. From this simple scenario springs a rich and penetrating exploration of Shakespeare in a story told with wit, passion, and linguistic brilliance. The conflicting views of the actor and the director shine a revealing light on race and art in modern America, and bring a refreshing new perspective on the enduring power of Shakespeare's work.

Philadelphia Premiere
By Keith Hamilton Cobb
Directed by Kash Goins
