The LCT Spotlight Series, Lincoln Center Theater’s free program of digital events, continues on Thursday, April 29 with an audio performance of Bill Gunn’s 1989 play, “The Forbidden City,” directed by Seret Scott. Set in Philadelphia circa 1936, the play examines how the bonds of a middle-class Black family are tested by the specter of a tragedy that occurred many years prior in the Jim Crow South.
The podcast will feature James T. Alfred, Spencer Scott Barros, Derrick Baskin, Kyle Beltran, Ato Blankson-Wood, Jason Bowen, Alfie Fuller, John Benjamin Hickey, Roscoe Orman, Brenda Pressley and Ray Anthony Thomas.
A bonus podcast episode featuring a conversation between Branden Jacobs-Jenkins and Seret Scott, as well as a transcript of the audio play, will also be available.
