Crescent City Stage, in residence at the Marquette Theatre, in partnership with the Loyola Department of Theatre and Dance, presents...PANTOMIME
by Derek Walcott
Directed by Dr. John 'Ray' Proctor and starring Michael C. Forest as Jackson and Michael A. Newcomer as Harry.
Pantomime is a fast-paced comedy set in Tobago. In the hope of entertaining future guests, an English hotel owner proposes that he and his Black handyman work up a satire on the Robinson Crusoe story. This metatheatrical two-hander dissects the effects of colonialism, examining the way that British imperial policies create fateful cultural links forever.
Joy and dark humor abound as the hotel owner and handyman explore who is allowed to use language and in what way.
