A new one-man show by playwright tells the story of a man who exists in five incarnations at different points in American history.
The show spans 100 years and tells the stories of a man named Abel Green who appears as a minstrel in one universe, and a cult leader, FBI informant, struggling actor, and out-of-work mortgage broker in four other universes. While the men all live in different eras, they struggle with the same central question: how do I make decisions and survive given my racial, political and social surroundings?
Host Frank Stasio talks with playwright Howard Craft and performer about the show on stage at Swain Hall at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill through January 24.
