Broschiertes Buch

The Haunting of Lin-Manuel Miranda

Beschreibung

"This powerful play, originally produced at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, comprehensively dismantles the phenomenon of Lin-Manuel Miranda and Hamilton. Reed uses the musical's crimes against history to insist on a radical, cleareyed way of looking at our past and our selves. Both durable and timely, this goes beyond mere corrective - it is a meticulously researched rebuttal, and absorbing drama, and a brilliant rallying cry for justice."--Back cover
