A raw, in your face, roller coaster ride about the life and loves, sorrows and successes of National Treasure James Baldwin.
Approached by a white, male, Jewish stranger, offering a Million Dollars for the Civil Rights Movement, Baldwin invites this friend or foe to his room at midnight.
They spar like prize fighters
Trying not to get hit
Provocation leads to conflict and lust
Will both get what they want?
A captivating shocker of an ending....
….what makes Baldwin’s Nigger such a rewarding theatrical experience is not [the] sensational twist…. the play as a whole teleports to us the brilliance of James Baldwin. For this much credit is due to both Reginald T. Jackson’s engrossing script and Sentell Harper’s impressive impersonation.
“Sentell Harper who portrays Baldwin, embodies him with candor and relevance. His persona seeps straight through his facial expression, body gesture and intonation of each word. “
BALDWIN'S NIGGER by Reginald T. Jackson to make it's NYC premiere in the Strawberry Theatre Festival. BALDWIN'S NIGGER is a captivating... hauntingly clever and skillfully done historical drama with a shocker of an ending.
