SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2020, 6PM-7:30PM (VIA ZOOM)

As part of the Naked Shakes Solo Festival, Debra Ann Byrd performs Becoming Othello: A Black Girl’s Journey. It is a 90 minute, 5-Act, living memoir about a young woman’s trials and triumphs with race and the classics, her memorable experiences growing up in East Harlem and her gender flipped journey on the road to becoming Shakespeare's noble, flawed general. The solo show is complete with moving songs and lyrical language from Black women playwrights, William Shakespeare, Langston Hughes, Martin Luther King, Jr., Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman and the King James Bible. Byrd is an award-winning and classically trained actress.
