A revival of Eugene O'Neill's groundbreaking 1920 play...the first of his plays to achieve critical and box office success, it effectively launched O'Neill's extraordinary career.
The production of The Emporer Jones will transfer to the Soho Playhouse beginning December 15, 2009. For current Off-Broadway show listings and tickets, please click here.
From the theatre:
"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 pursuite and tom-toms beating, the Emperor is forced to confront the mortal sins of his past in search of forgiveness and salvation.
What's Irish Rep? Occasionally, a group of artists finds a large room somewhere in the city, and settles down there for a decade or so to stage the plays that they like, in the manner that they enjoy making them. That's the case here. Though it's one of the smaller shops among the long-running Off-Broadway companies, these folks have been staging Irish drama in these rooms for quite awhile, and the enjoyment can be infectious.
