Stay ConnectedLincoln Center Theater’s Spotlight Series is expanding its programming to include audio presentations of largely forgotten plays that are deserving of a contemporary audience.
Set in Philadelphia circa 1936, THE FORBIDDEN CITY examines how the bonds of a middle-class Black family are tested by the specter of a tragedy that occurred many years prior in the Jim Crow South.
By Bill Gunn and directed by Seret Scott.
Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, a writer in LCT’s Beaumont New Play Commission Program, chose THE FORBIDDEN CITY to include in the Spotlight Series. A bonus episode featuring a conversation between Mr. Jacobs-Jenkins and director Seret Scott discussing THE FORBIDDEN CITY and playwright Bill Gunn, is also available.
The podcast will be available for on-demand listening through Sunday, May 23, 2021.
Full transcripts of the audio play and bonus interview are available at www.LCT.org
