As part of our Year of Baldwin programming, Collective Conciousness Theatre and Kulturally LIT have partnered to present a theatrical reading of James Baldwin's play Blues for Mister Charlie at the Beinecke Library this Summer.Blues for Mister Charlie is James Baldwin's second play, a social commentary drama in three acts. It was first produced and published in 1964. In a small Southern town, a white man murders a black man, then throws his body in the weeds. With this act of violence--which is loosely based on the notorious 1955 killing of Emmett Till--James Baldwin launches an unsparing and at times agonizing probe of the wounds of race.
