Description
A homegrown company of free black actors draws packed houses of blacks--and whites. Performing jobs of servitude by day, they rehearse Richard III at night. But when they dare to open at the same time as New York's premiere theatre, there is no room for competition. Based on a real incident, this provocative play is a must-see for Shakespeare and theatre history lovers.
