Dutchman by LeRoi Jones

Etcetera Theatre

3rd – 22nd October 2000

A dangerous provocative thriller about a seemingly chance meeting between two strangers on the subway: a young intellectual black man and a mysterious older white woman. The consequences of their encounter are explosive.

In this dazzling, pertinent play, sexual tension, racial bigotry and righteous fury collide in a razor edge confrontation.

Reviews

‘Staging LeRoi Jones’ explosive play about racial and sexual tension in 1960s New York City is a good place to start. Casting two convincing and intriguing actors is pure gold’.

The Stage

‘Critical gushing aside, the obvious take home message is: SEE THIS SHOW’.

Three Weeks *****

‘50 minutes of simmering racial and sexual tension on the subway which culminates in a stunning coup de theatre’.

‘Amelia Nicholson’s directorial debut is potent theatre.’
