Funnyhouse of a Negro
Adrienne Kennedy’s Funnyhouse of a Negro is an avant-garde one-act drama about a young African American college student named Negro Sarah who desperately wishes that she was white. This captivating one act play explores the psychological trauma of race and identity in America that is amazingly salient today over 50 years after Kennedy’s Obie award for this work.
