Invisible Man

An unnamed, idealistic, young African-American searches for identity and his place in the world as he journeys through 1930s America – from the Deep South to a basement in the borderlands of Harlem, from a betrayal at his ivy-covered Negro college to a nightmare job in a New York paint factory, to the story’s climax at a Harlem race riot. He moves through an America divided by race and class, grappling with the paradoxes of identity that have rendered him invisible. Ellison’s landmark American novel about race, power, freedom, and liberty comes to life onstage in this gripping theatrical adaptation.
