SUMMARY:Wine in the Wilderness by Alice Childress
DESCRIPTION:Geffen Playhouse presents the Los Angeles premiere of\nWine in the Wilderness\nWritten by Alice Childress\nDirected by LaChanze\nProduced in association with LaChanze Productions\nClick here for tickets!\nSet during the height of the 1964 Harlem riot\, Wine in the Wilderness unfolds in the apartment of Bill Jameson\, a painter determined to capture “the essence” of Black womanhood in his latest triptych. As friends take shelter from the rising tensions outside\, the arrival of a young woman disrupts Bill’s carefully constructed vision and exposes the assumptions\, judgments\, and hierarchies shaping both his art and his community. \nWith incisive humor and unflinching honesty\, Alice Childress’s play interrogates class\, colorism\, gender\, and the politics of representation\, asking who gets to define beauty\, respectability\, and worth. Under the direction of Broadway legend LaChanze\, this production foregrounds the play’s emotional immediacy and radical compassion\, revealing a story that feels as urgent today as when it was first written. \n  \nPERFORMANCE INFORMATION \nRunning Time: 90 minutes\, no intermission. \nWarnings/Content Advisory: This production contains profanity. \nAge Recommendation: 12+. All Geffen Playhouse productions are intended for an adult audience; children under 10 years of age will not be admitted.
