Ishmael Reed describes his newest play: “Walt Disney’s adaptation of the Uncle Remus stories, 'Song of the South, ' generated hundreds of millions for Disney’s studio and brought prosperity to Joel Chandler Harris, from whom he purchased the rights. The problem is they weren’t his. H.L. Mencken called Harris “an Amanuensis,” someone who takes dictation. Harris took dictation from enslaved members of the Turner plantation, especially Aunt Crissy, Old Harbert, and George Terrell. Harris became one of the most beloved men in the United States, while the three former enslaved people whose stories he copied became sharecroppers after the Civil War. In The Amanuensis, Brer Rabbit and Sister Fox insist they be paid.”



Directed by Rome Neal, the cast includes Jesse Bueno, Robert Fulton, Emil Guillermo, Malika Iman, Joseph La Salle, Rome Neal, Carmen Noelia, Jahn Overstreet, Lisa Pakulski, and Monisha Shiva.
