Speak of Me As I Am: Dramatic Monologues in "Fred Wilson: Reflections"
Join the Rose Art Museum and SpeakEasy Stage for an afternoon of powerful theatrical performances inspired by Fred Wilson: Reflections. Set amid Wilson’s breathtaking black Murano glass chandeliers, mirrors, and 'drips,' which reference Venetian history, Black identity, and Shakespeare's Othello, actors will read excerpts from Othello and contemporary texts that explore themes of love and death, envy and passion.
