The Blacks: A Clown Show

The Blacks: A Clown Show

An English translation of Genetâ€™s classic symbolic drama, first performed in Paris in 1959.
Â
Franceâ€™s master of the absurd explores racial prejudice and stereotypesÂ using the framework of a play within a play. The New York Times hailed The Blacks as â€œone of the most original and stimulating evenings Broadway or Off Broadway has to offer,â€ while Newsweek raved that Genetâ€™s plays â€œconstitute a body of work unmatched for poetic and theatrical power.â€
Â
â€œGenetâ€™s investigation of the color black begins where most plays of this burning theme leave off.Â .Â .Â . This vastly gifted Frenchman uses shocking words and images to cry out at the pretensions and injustices of our world.â€ â€”Howard Taubman, The New York Times
