For the sake of Jason, Medea has left her home and lives in exile. Jason abandons her and their two sons for a new life and a new bride. And now Medea must leave. She begs to stay just one more day. It is enough. She exacts revenge and destroys all that she loves. One of the greatest pieces of dramatic literature of all time in a thrilling new production.

AMERICAN MOOR, written and directed by Keith Hamilton Cobb, directed by Paul Kwame Johnson

Playwright and performer Keith Hamilton Cobb is always asked to play Othello. American Moor is his captivating mediation on veiled racism, and his own bias, towards Shakespeare's misunderstood Moor.
