Buffalo Hair
by Carlyle Brown

"Race, war and history collide in this play, set in 1874, the year of the Red River War on the southern plains, when a group of black troopers of the Tenth Cavalry, Buffalo Soldiers, are sent to suppress an uprising of the Southern Cheyenne. “Playwright Carlyle Brown aptly exposes the ambiguity of racial identity and the tragedy of the ”divide and conquer“ mentality which pitted African Americans against Native Americans…BUFFALO HAIR is powerful stuff…” —Insight News. “Basing his play on…historical fact, Brown takes a new slant on the traditional Western, attempting to come to terms with history, to rewrite and reclaim the past. He moves beyond typical melodrama and fashions a powerful examination of the complexities of race…and what it means in the lives of the characters."
