JAMES BALDWIN - GEBRAUCHT BLUES FOR MISTER CHAR...

An award-winning play from one of America s most brilliant writers about a murder in a small
Southern town  loosely based on the 1955 killing of Emmett Till. A play with fires of fury in
its belly  tears of anguish in its eyes  a roar of protest in its throat. The New York
TimesJames Baldwin turns a murder and its aftermath into an inquest in which even the most
well-intentioned whites are implicated and in which even a killer receives his share of
compassion.In a small Southern town  a white man murders a black man  then throws his body in
the weeds. With this act of violence  James Baldwin launches an unsparing and at times
agonizing probe of the wounds of race.For where once a white storekeeper could have shot a boy
like Richard Henry with impunity  times have changed. And centuries of brutality and fear 
patronage and contempt  are about to erupt in a moment of truth as devastating as a shotgun
blast.
