PLAY SPOTLIGHT:

Harlem Duet

Harlem Duet by Djanet Sears

Harlem Duet is a modernized interpretation of the classic tragedy Othello, which addresses the question, "Who would Othello be if he were alive today?" Shakespeare's Othello provides one of the first portrayals of an African man in western literature. Djanet Sears' award-winning play hypothesizes that The Moor who married the much younger Desdemona had a previous wife – a Black woman.

Harlem Duet is told through the eyes of Billie, a black graduate student studying the mental health of Black people. She loves and marries Othello, a young black teacher at Columbia University, only to be left by her husband of nine years for Mona, his white colleague on the Upper East Side. Billie reels from a multitude of betrayals, played out over three great periods in African-American history: set simultaneously on a Southern plantation in 1860 (before the Emancipation Proclamation), in 1928 during the Harlem Renaissance, and in contemporary Harlem on the corner of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X Boulevards.

Powerful, intense and emotionally gripping, this Canadian theatre classic packs as powerful a punch now as it did when it won of the Governor General's Award for Drama in in 1998.
