The new play by Ivan Mosley (MFA, ’22), <i>N/N, </i>is about two Black men, Remus and Jacobee, who camp out in a never-ending cotton field. Jacobee, a contemporary urbanite, is waiting for a winged woman named Hippolyta to give him wings so he can fly away
from Remus. Remus, a slave from the 1860s, is looking to travel further in the field. Remus and Jacobee are soon visited by Conjure Chesnutt and his disciples: Augustine, Banjo, Gethsemane and Timmons. Conjure advises them to stay away from Hippolyta but remain
exactly where they are. However, Conjure soon reveals ulterior motives. Will Jacobee obtain his wings? Can he and Remus trust Conjure Chesnutt and his followers?
