Did Our Word of Mouth Panel Find Pleasure in the Big and Bawdy A Free Man of Color?

Big themes? A Free Man of Color tackles them in spades: the history of New Orleans, the effect of the Louisiana Purchase, the origins of slavery, racial politics—plus a central character who is irresistible to every women he meets. Playwright John Guare and director George C. Wolfe blend this spicy theatrical stew for Lincoln Center Theater’s latest Broadway production, which opened on November 18, starring Jeffrey Wright. Broadway.com sent Word of Mouth panelists Morgan, Ameil and David to the Vivian Beaumont Theater to check out the play. Did they find this Free Man irresistible, too?
