American Trade

Synopsis

A Contemporary Restoration Comedy: a Part of the Identity Plays

When life in New York gets to hot to handle, charismatic hustler Pharus escapes the clutches of rap star Jules and moves to London.

A funny, uncompromising about surviving in the big city that challenges our assumptions about racial and sexual identity, <b>American Trade</b> celebrates twenty-first-century London in all its extravagant diversity.

Tarell Alvin McCraney's <b>American Trade</b> premiered at the Hampstead Theatre, London, in June 2011 in a production by the Royal Shakespeare Company.
