Closed June 25, 2016

"Red Velvet is a meditation on race, theatre and Englishness that is...fiery and funny in equal measure."

Why See Red Velvet?

Plays

Does the actor fit the role?

Opening to widespread acclaim in 2012, Lolita Chakrabarti's Red Velvet imagines the experiences of Ira Aldridge, a young African-American who broke down boundaries of color and battled engrained social and theatrical prejudices when he stepped in to the role of Othello after actor Edward Kean collapsed on stage in London, 1833.

Before that, no black actor had ever starred as the embittered Othello, although Shakespeare's character was canonically a man of color. Chakarabarti explores the resulting fall out from when he stepped upon the stage, to the success he found as he toured the world and became a living legend of his time.
