A fierce and funny solo show devised by Perisphere Co-Artistic Director, Gerrad Alex Taylor. I Know How To Curse: a re-blackening of shakespeare confronts the legacy of minstrelsy in American theater. Using the structure of a minstrel show to critique the casting politics of the classical canon, the play interrogates how Black actors are seen-and unseen-onstage. A radical blend of Shakespeare, satire, and self-reflection, it reclaims space for Black artists in the roles we're too often denied.
