À propos de cet audio
Experience the Broadway revival of Purlie Victorious, A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch in a captivating production, featuring the incomparable Leslie Odom, Jr. Originally premiering in 1961, this groundbreaking comedy by Ossie Davis is a cornerstone of African American theater.
Dynamic traveling preacher Purlie Victorious Judson returns to his small Georgia town hoping to save Big Bethel, the community’s church, and emancipate the cotton pickers who work on oppressive Ol’ Cap’n Cotchipee’s plantation. With the assistance of Lutiebelle Gussie Mae Jenkins, in a Tony Award-winning performance by Kara Young, Purlie hopes to pry loose an inheritance due his long-lost cousin and use the money to restore his beloved church. Through the power and lyricism of his language, Davis incisively and hilariously challenges racial stereotypes and discrimination, as a seminal voice for justice.
Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.
