SOME OLD BLACK MAN acknowledges the political past in a unique way, but never waivers from being a deeply moving, personal tale of father-son reconciliation. There should be more new plays as fine as this.
'Some Old Black Man' is, on one level, about the black experience. But the essential concept is universal, one for which any adult who has had to care for an aging parent can easily summon buckets of empathy.
Starring Tony Award-winner Roger Robinson–who reprises his BPL staged reading role as Donald–and Leon Addison Brown, “Some Old Black Man” relates the experiences of two generations of African-American men in a post-civil rights movement culture.
