Synopsis for DUTCHMAN:

Set on a New York Subway train, DUTCHMAN opens as a young black man, Clay, is interrupted from his thoughts by Lula, a flirtatious and slightly older white woman he smiled at through the windows when the train stopped. Their conversation, which starts as playful, slowly becomes more personal, more cruel, and reveals, from both perspectives, the many political, psychological, and physical conflicts that face Black men in America.

Content Warning: This play has racist language which may be traumatic for some audience members.

Running time: 50 minutes, followed by an informal talkback with the cast and creative team.

This play is being presented as a benefit for Black Theatre Network, a non-profit organization dedicated to the exploration and preservation of the theatrical visions of the African Diaspora. To learn more about this fantastic organization, please visit: www.BlackTheatreNetwork.org

'A fierce and blazing talent.' - N.Y. Herald Tribune
'..a pivotal play not only at a particular juncture in 20th-century American culture but also in Mr. Baraka’s increasingly politicized career.' - New York Times
'The playwright's Black Nationalist leanings show through in Dutchman's incendiary take on 1960s race relations. This is a subject that never gets old, as evidenced by the audience's vocal reactions to the play's denouement.' - nytheatre.com Canon mf toolbox 4.9 drivers for mac.

Reviews and Audience Response for DUTCHMAN:

'Two digital productions of Amiri Baraka's allegory about the state of race in the nation prove as powerful as ever..The Seeing Place production, which starred Timothy Ware and Erin Cronican and was directed by Brandon Walker, highlighted the sexual friction between Clay and Lula. Cronican’s Lula gives Clay a lusty up and down, hungrily takes bites of her apple, a seductive smile creeping across her face. Ware’s Clay smirks gamely in response; he seems mostly unbothered by her odd diversions and casually racist remarks and appears to lust back. (Baraka’s text makes plenty of room for misogyny, drawing on a Bible tale that presents a sly, seductive and morally inferior female character; his work has also notoriously dipped into anti-Semitism, also present in “Dutchman.”) By underlining the sexual power dynamic between the man and the woman, Walker’s direction simplifies the larger reach of the play and what the characters represent. The tension becomes less about the matchup of Blackness and whiteness in society than about the interracial fraternization of one Black man and one white woman.'- Maya Phillips, New York Times

'The Seeing Place's reading of Baraka's scathing work about an encounter in a New York City subway car between a white woman and a Black man premiered on the same day that civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis died and even his colleagues' tributes unintentionally highlighted the pervasiveness of racism in America as well as the continued urgency of the kinds of conversations that productions such as Dutchman can foster..The cutting between the Zoom windows is smoothly done, and because the play mostly consists of a two-person conversation, the format adds the interesting effect of putting the audience subjectively in the positions of both Lula and Clay as it continuously alternates perspectives. Both Ware and Cronican are excellent..Dutchman has a very limited virtual run, so don't miss your chance to see it and to benefit a worthy cause while The Seeing Place helps us to think about not only what and how we see but what we are going to do about it.'- John R. Ziegler and Leah Richards, Thinking Theater

'COVID-19 strikes. Everything stops including our beloved nights at the theater. But wait here comes virtual theater brought to us but our good friends at The Seeing Place Theater. Their dramatic reading of Dutchman by Amiri Baraka gives us hope that theater is indeed alive..If virtual theater is the new wave of the 21st century, although it will take some getting used to, it is reassuring to know that there is a way to fulfill our dramatic desires. We can only thank The Seeing Place for being pioneers and finding a way to give us the gift of theater.'- Nicholas Linnehan, Theater That Matters

'Dutchman is so relevant at this moment of protest of Black Lives Matter and is a testament of the power of great writing of Mr. Baraka. Both actors are great, very moving and absorbing in their roles. The heat of the day and the heat of the play got to me. I loved the reading.'- Bina Shariff, Hi! Drama

'I just watched DUTCHMAN via the stream and it was riveting. Very inventive use of zoom devices. And such a timely play, beautifully acted. Strongly recommended!'- Michael Colby, Facebook Patron Review

'So glad to see DUTCHMAN yesterday. Congratulations to the cast and team for a fabulous production! Thank you for performing a play that confronts so many important topics and leaves you thinking! Besides, I was really curious how a performance would work via Zoom and kudos to you for doing such a great job on that as well! Very believable scenery! Looking forward to the next production!'- Eva Kastner-Puschl, Facebook Patron Review

'A fantastic production with creative use of the online platform. Beautifully performed, challenging, important, and thought provoking.'- Anna Reustle Kaltenbach, Facebook Patron Review

'I was quite shaken by this production and kept wondering when was this written. I realized I had seen this show years before and sadly to date, not much as changed. Erin and Tim were both spectacular. Thank you.'- Sharon Barnett, Facebook Patron Review

Wow 4.3 4 mac. 'I was struck with the effectiveness of the Zoom format as used by actors in your production of 'Dutchman': each character faced and spoke directly to the audience (who stood in the shoes of the other character for the duration of that speech). The audience could not turn away, or distance from what the character was saying. P. S. 'Dutchman' is a play I know, and seeing it in the theatre was very different from your Zoom production. Bravi!'- Judith Johnston, Patron Review Via Email

'Amazing performances and direction! It is not easy to captivate and engage via Zoom and this was an amazing job. Congrats to all involved. So engaging.'- Mary Lahti, Patron Review Via YouTube
