‘Purple Rain’ Forecast For Broadway In Stage Adaptation By ‘Appropriate’ Playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
#News #BrandenJacobsJenkins #Broadway #LileanaBlainCruz #Prince #PurpleRain

When I read #AnOctoroon by #BrandenJacobsJenkins I thought it was a pretty good play. Sat in a rehearsal, I thought "What the hell is this slapstick nonsense?" e.g. 1 actor playing 2 parts where he has a fight with himself! But the finished production, well directed, well acted and with brilliant set, lighting and sound design, it became something immense and profound. A hard hitting look at slavery and the disgusting, yet once acceptable, attitudes towards black people.

#FXNetwork has cancelled #Kindred after a single season. Showrunner #BrandenJacobsJenkins envisioned a multi-season run for the series and is expected to shop it to other outlets. #television
