As we read The Autobiography of Malcolm X, First-Year Seminar presents The Acting Company (described by The New York Times as “the major touring classical theater in the United States”) in X: Or Betty Shabazz vs. The Nation, a new play written by Marcus Gardley (according to The New Yorker, “the heir to Garcia Lorca, Pirandello, and Tennessee Williams”) and directed by Ian Belknap.
Continuing with our theme of dialogues ancient and modern, this new play juxtaposes the assassinations of Julius Caesar and Malcolm X. At a time of renewed activism regarding race and other social issues across the country, the play deepens our understanding of one of the most compelling and controversial revolutionary leaders of the 1960s.
