Beschreibung:
Angelina Weld Grimké (1880-1958) was an African-American poet and playwright. Her play Rachel was first written and performed in 1916.
Rachel is a young, educated, middle-class woman born into an African-American family in the early 20th century--a world in which ignorance and violence prevail. Her dreams of getting married and becoming a mother collide with the tragic events of her family's past as she confronts the harsh reality of a racist world.
The first play by an African-American woman ever produced professionally, this hauntingly beautiful play still asks urgent questions for today.
