Dutchman by Amiri Baraka
For more information
Dutchman premiered in 1964 in Greenwich Village, winning an Obie Award. It was the last play that Baraka would stage under the name LeRoi Jones and coincided with the playwright’s increasing involvement in Black Nationalism. Through characters mired in racism and guilt, the play forces us to take a hard look at our own prejudices and assumptions. Controversial from the beginning, Dutchman has no less serious an impact today than it did at the time of its first production.
