A shocking one-act play, which takes place “in the flying underbelly of the city,”
in a subway train, is an emotionally charged and highly symbolic version of the
Adam and Eve story in which a naïve bourgeois black man is murdered by
an insane and calculating white seductress. This play is one of mythical proportions,
a ritual drama that has a sociological purpose: to galvanize his audience
into revolutionary action.
Two primary characters:
Lula, a thirty-year old insane, flirtatious, calculating white seductress
Clay, a twenty-year old naïve bourgeois black man
Ensemble:
Riders of coach, white and black
Young black man
Black conductor
Alcoholic
