Disposable Men

This richly interactive live multimedia one-man show comes to Atlanta direct from its sold-out off-Broadway run. Hailed by the New York Times as a “slyly funny play about racism,” Disposable Men explores the uncanny relationship that African American men and classic Hollywood monsters like King Kong and Frankenstein share: first, an unfounded fear of them, and then, the imaginative ways in which they are killed. Using unexpected comic twists and turns to track through a history of lynchings and riots to contemporary police brutality, James Scruggs’s tour de force asks why today the media tells us that black men are so disposable.
