An Octoroon

July 18, 2017 at 12:00 am - August 6, 2017 at 12:00 am

$20

DC native and MacArthur “genius grant” winner Branden Jacobs-Jenkins wrote this meta-theatrical play based on a forgotten 1859 work about interracial love on an Old South plantation. The satire plunges into questions of race in America, bending space and time in an experimental tale with equal parts humor and tragedy.
