An Octoroon (NHB Modern Plays)
Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
'What you gonna do once you free? You just gonna walk up in somebody house and be like,'Hey. I'm a slave. Help me?' Judge Peyton is dead, and his plantation Terrebonne is in financial ruins. Peyton's handsome nephew George arrives as heir apparent, and quickly falls in love with Zoe, a beautiful 'octoroon' (a person of one-eighth black ancestry). But, the dastardly M'Closky has other plans - for both Terrebonne and Zoe. An Octoroon won an OBIE Award when it was first seen in New York in 2014. Its European premiere resulted in a sell-out run at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, in 2017, transferring to the National Theatre, London, in 2018.
