Review: ANTONY & CLEOPATRA, Shakespeare's Globe

'Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety.'

American dramatist Alice Childress's 1955 play Trouble in Mind is one such work with controversial beginnings and belated revivals. If Childress had agreed to revise her play in 1955-57 to make it more palatable for a predominantly white audience, then hers would have been the first play by a Black woman to be produced on Broadway.
