Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
takes the plot of Dion Boucicault’s 1859 antebellum melodrama, The Octoroon,
and smashes it with a 21st century sensibility.
Presented through the eyes of the onstage playwright BJJ,
this pre-Civil War tale set in the Deep South
tells of a slave owner’s affections for a woman whose blood is one-eighth Black.
AN OCTOROON promises to be ripe for audience conversation
around race in today’s society,
and the role that theater plays with this dialogue.
Content advisory: AN OCTOROON contains adult language, themes and disturbing images.
