Produktbeschreibung
The intelligent, intuitive, indomitable, large, black, American male actor explores Shakespeare, race, and America ... not necessarily in that order. Keith Hamilton Cobb embarks on a poetic exploration that examines the experience and perspective of black men in America through the metaphor of Shakespeare's character Othello, offering up a host of insights that are by turns introspective and indicting, difficult and deeply moving. American Moor is a play about race in America, but it is also a play about who gets to make art, who gets to play Shakespeare, about whose lives and perspectives matter, about actors and acting, and about the nature of unadulterated love. American Moor has been seen across America, including a successful run off-Broadway in 2019. This edition features an introduction by Professor Kim F. Hall, Barnard College.

He has performed such classical roles as Laertes in Hamlet, Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet, Tullus Aufidius in Coriolanus, Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream, as well as more contemporary roles in David Mamet's Race, August Wilson's Jitney, and Lynn Nottage's Ruined to name but a few. However, Mr. Cobb is most widely recognized for the landmark roles he created for television, among those the role of Noah Keefer for ABC's All My Children, for which he garnered a Daytime Emmy Award nomination; the role of galactic mercenary Tyr Anasazi for Gene Rodenberry's Andromeda; the role of Damon Porter for CBS's The Young and the Restless; and the role of Quincy Abrams for the series, Noah's Arc on the Logo network.
