Set in a Harlem barbershop during the dawn of the civil rights movement, Ceremonies in Dark Old Men paints a poignant portrait of a family yearning for a better life while navigating the harsh realities of their time. With a masterful balance of drama and humor, Elder explores the discontent of a generation that has grown old before its time and the determination of the next generation to avoid such a fate. First produced by the Negro Ensemble Company in 1969, this critically-acclaimed play paved the way for playwrights such as August Wilson and Lynn Nottage.
