Come behind the scenes of Invisible Man at the Huntington Theatre Company, and learn more about the adaptation of Ralph Ellison's powerful American classic in an interview with adaptor Oren Jacoby, director Christopher McElroen, and the "Invisible Man" himself, Teagle F. Bougere. Click below!
This co-production, featuring actors from Boston and Washington, DC, originated at Washington, DC's Studio Theatre where the fall run was twice extended due to popular demand.
The production begins with the first line of the novel: "I am an invisible man." An unnamed, idealistic, young African-American searches for identity and his place in the world as he journeys through 1930s America - from the Deep South to a basement in the borderlands of Harlem, from a betrayal at his ivy-covered Negro college to a nightmare job in a New York paint factory, to the story's climax at a Harlem race riot. He moves through an America divided by race and class, grappling with the paradoxes of identity that have rendered him invisible.
