  "Disquieting, perceptive, and often bitingly funny." –NY Amsterdam News
AMERICAN MOOR
Philadelphia Premiere By Keith Hamilton Cobb Directed by Kash Goins
November 7 – December 8, 2024
An actor auditions for the title role in Othello. From this simple scenario springs a rich and penetrating exploration of Shakespeare in a story told with wit, passion, and linguistic brilliance. The conflicting views of the actor and the director shine a revealing light on race and art in modern America, and bring a refreshing new perspective on the enduring power of Shakespeare's work.
