This collection of one-act plays represents a broad view of the author's early writing about African-American life.
Talk With The Spirits is a young man/s struggle for identity. A teleplay, Pieces of A Man engages the responsibilities of young fatherhood.
Black Sermon Rock is the connecting play - a comic funeral for the protagonists - in the full length plays Ride A Black Horse and Time Turns Black to form a trilogy which opens the chaos of the "in the streets" conflicts of the Civil Rights Movement in America's urban cities.
The Alligator Man is a musical fantasy inspired by the self-imposed expatriation of Jazzman Sonny Rollins.
Combined with music and film, Shades is two connected plays exploring interracial romance and chilling revenge.
"One of the most thorough, scholarly and germane
writers during the past decades."
- Carlton Molette, Ph.D., Co-Author, Black Theatre: Premise and Presentation
