Description

Race will be Offensive to some due to highly charged racial language. Thank you!

Running time 90 minutes. No intermission.

The San Diego premiere of RACE brings to the stage the talents of Anthony Hamm, Jonathan Sachs, Brittney M. Caldwell and Lance Carter.

“Race, like sex, is a subject on which
it is near impossible to tell the truth.”
–David Mamet

In one of the latest works by Pulitzer Prize-winning David Mamet (American Buffalo, Glengarry Glen Ross), two attorneys are hired to defend a white man accused of raping an African-American woman. In the face of unraveling evidence, the lawyers' own uncomfortable beliefs about race rise to the surface. Different Stages tackles Mamet's rat-a-tat language and sharp jabs in this confrontational comedy that skewers modern-day "polite" society. Race premiered on Broadway in 2009 starring James Spader and David Alan Grier. Produced through special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.

Produced and Directed by Jerry Pilato with technical direction by Mark Robertson , Lighting and Sound design by David Romero, Stage Managed by Annie M.
