An English translation of Genet’s classic symbolic drama, first
performed in Paris in 1959. France’s master of the absurd
explores racial prejudice and stereotypes using the framework of a
play within a play. The New York Times hailed The Blacks as “one of
the most original and stimulating evenings Broadway or Off Broadway
has to offer,” while Newsweek raved that Genet’s plays
“constitute a body of work unmatched for poetic and theatrical
power.” “Genet’s investigation of the color black begins
where most plays of this burning theme leave off. . . . This vastly
gifted Frenchman uses shocking words and images to cry out at the
pretensions and injustices of our world.” —Howard Taubman, The New
York Times
