“Red Velvet”

This is the story of an 1833 London production of “Othello,” starring Edmund Kean, one of the greatest actors of his generation. When Kean collapses during a performance, the theatre manager brings in an African-American actor to fill the role. The reactions of his fellow actors and of critics are complex and divisive, and he is not allowed to finish his engagement. Free and open to the public. Donations are welcome.
