Freight: The Five Incarnations of Abel Greene Off-Broadway Original Cast

Next, he's a faith healer who imagines himself an instrument of God while being manipulated for someone's profit. Third, he's fleeing from the Black Panthers after snitching on them to a fatherly black FBI agent who guided him on infiltrating the organization. Fourth, he's a struggling actor whose mentor and best friend is revealed to be secretly homosexual and dying of AIDS. Abel must overcome his shock and prejudice to nurse him in his final days. In the final scene, he's a former seller of subprime mortgages, broken by his guilt over exploiting poor and minority families, reduced to living as a can-and-bottle collector. All in all, Abel is a naïve villain, constantly caught in the conflict of surviving in a racist world by exploiting your own people.
