A black actor auditioning for the role of Othello finds himself torn between wanting the role of a lifetime and having to engage an age-old process that invariably ends up with a large black man on stage responding to white decision makers who presume to understand, and ultimately dictate, how a charismatic, intelligent, black man should behave in society.
Powerful, dynamic, humorous, at times confrontational, at times ironic, yet truthful throughout, American Moor becomes a deeply moving exploration about race in America, of how we see only what we want to see of one another, and how the pall of privileged perspectives is ultimately so injurious to us all.
It asks, Who gets to make art in America? Whose perspectives matter? Why must only certain roles be relegated to actors of color? What will it take for us to wholly embrace one another?
American Moor plays July 19 through August 12 at The Plaza Theatre - Boston Center for the Arts. Performances are Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 7:30 pm, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00 pm, with matinees on Sundays at 2:00 pm.
A post-show discussion will follow the performance on the Thursday evenings and Sunday matinees from July 23 through August 10.
