'What you gonna do once you free? You just gonna walk up in
somebody house and be like,"Hey. I'm a slave. Help me?"' Judge
Peyton is dead, and his plantation Terrebonne is in financial
ruins. Peyton's handsome nephew George arrives as heir apparent,
and quickly falls in love with Zoe, a beautiful 'octoroon'. But the
dastardly M'Closky has other plans - for both Terrebonne and Zoe.
Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' exhilarating play, An Octoroon, draws on
Dion Boucicault's 1859 melodrama The Octoroon to explore issues
about race and identity in America today. The play won an OBIE
Award when it was first seen in New York in 2014, and had its
European premiere at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, in 2017. It
transferred to the National Theatre, London, in 2018. An Octoroon
won Branden Jacobs-Jenkins the Most Promising Playwright Award at
the Evening Standard Awards in 2017. He was also named Most
Promising Playwright at the Critics' Circle Awards in 2018 for his
plays Gloria and An Octoroon.
