Black Children's Day

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Black_Children's_Day an entity of type: Thing

Black Children's Day is a one-act play written in 1980 by Adrienne Kennedy. It was commissioned by Brown University, and was revised in 1988. Kennedy is an African American playwright. Her plays often use surrealism as an element to explore the American experience from a non-white perspective, drawing on symbolism, mythical and historical figures, and themes of race, violence, and family to create her works. Specifically, Black Children's Day draws on elements of Metatheatre and surrealism to explore non-realistic characters in a chaotic sense. Many of Kennedy's plays are "autobiographically inspired". rdf:langString
