Program for "Purlie Victorious" and "Waiting for Godot"
Free Southern Theater
Amistad Research Center
New Orleans, United States
A program for the plays, Purlie Victorious and Waiting for Godot. Although the production of an absurdist work by an Irish playwright may have seemed at odds with FST's goals, upon viewing a production of Waiting for Godot in Ruleville, Mississippi, civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer commented that the play should be familiar to any African American who is still waiting for equality.
