Eugene O'Neill's brilliant groundbreaking play, The Emperor Jones, is the story of Brutus Jones, an African-American man who sets himself up as monarch of a Caribbean island following a prison break in the Unites States.
When the Natives rebel after years of exploitation, Jones's mesmerizing journey into darkness becomes a terrifying psychological portrayal of power, fear, and madness. With his demons in heavy pursuit and tom-toms beating, the Emperor is forced to confront the mortal sins of his past in search of forgiveness and salvation.
John Douglas Thompson -- OBIE and Lucille Lortel Award-winning actor for last season's acclaimed revival of Othello -- portrays the enigmatic emperor, opposite Helen Hayes Award-winning actor Rick Foucheux as Smithers. Ciaran O'Reilly, whose direction of O'Neill's The Hairy Ape earned him Drama Desk, Drama League and Callaway award nominations, is set to direct.
Joining Mr. Thompson and Mr. Foucheux in the cast of The Emperor Jones are Michael Akil Davis, Jon Deliz, Sameerah Harris, David Heron and Sinclair Mitchell.
The production includes set design by Charles Corcoran; costume design by Antonia Ford-Roberts; lighting design by Brian Nason; original music and sound design by Ryan Rumery and Christian Fredrickson; and puppet design by Bob Flanagan. Choreography by Barry McNabb.
