In what could be a prelude to Shakespeares Othello, Djanet Searss Harlem Duet recounts the story of Othello and his first wife, Billie (before Desdemona). Their history is told through the lives of three couples during eras of special significance in the Black American Experience.Set in contemporary Harlem at the corner of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X Boulevards, the tale tows the line of racial identity, sexual politics, and mental illness in the black community. Sears script diffuses the action through three timelines: the 1860s, 1928 and the present.Its a weighty play, and one that leaves us with no easy answers.Harlem Duet received Canadas highest literary honor for dramatic writing, the Governor Generals Literary Award, in 1998. That year it also received the Floyd S. Chalmers Canadian Play Award.Tickets $25 per household. This show will be recorded on stage and streamed to patrons on demand. Streaming is only available March 19 April 18.No discounts are available for this production. For questions, call the Box Office (619) 435-4856 or email boxoffice@coronadoplayhouse.com
