Harlem Duet
Written and directed by Djanet Sears
May 15-17, 22-24 at 8:00 pm in Roble Studio Theater
The Department of Drama is proud to welcome Djanet Sears to Stanford, where she
will direct her play Harlem Duet, a prelude to Shakespeare's Othello. Winner of
Canada's highest literary honor for dramatic writing - the Governor General's Literary Award - in
1998, Harlem Duet was revived in 2006 at the Stratford Festival, North
America's largest theater festival, and was the first black work to be produced
in the festival's fifty-four year history, the first to be directed by a black director
(Sears), and the first with an all-black cast.
