Description

Lorraine Hansberry's Les Blancs A Drama in Two Acts is a powerful drama that confronts the hope and tragedy of Africa in revolution. Set against the backdrop of a white Christian mission, the play depicts the hour of reckoning when guilt and innocence are no longer distinguishable. Tshembe Matoseh's return home to bury his father sets off a chain of events as he navigates the conflict between his own desires for a peaceful life in England and the demands of his community. The Spirit of Africa, a powerful symbol of the continent's struggle for liberation, pursues him, drawing Tshembe into a world of politics and revolution. This thought-provoking drama is a prophetic portrayal of the imperatives of black liberation and the consequences of white colonialism.
