American Moor

Keith Hamilton Cobb

4.09/5 (288 ratings)

Read Now Download Now

The intelligent, intuitive, indomitable, large, black, American male actor explores Shakespeare, race, and America ... not necessarily in that order.

Keith Hamilton Cobb embarks on a poetic exploration that examines the experience and perspective of black men in America through the metaphor of Shakespeare's character Othello, offering up a host of insights that are by turns introspective and indicting, difficult and deeply moving. American Moor is a play about race in America, but it is also a play about who gets to make art, who gets to play Shakespeare, about whose lives and perspectives matter, about actors and acting, and about the nature of unadulterated love.

American Moor has been seen across America, including a successful run off-Broadway in 2019.

This edition features an introduction by Professor Kim F. Hall, Barnard College.
