Abstract:
D avid K rasner : In surveying contemporary London theatre, New York Times critic Ben Brantley reported that the Tricycle Theatre had inaugurated a season of African-American plays with the commandingly titled but obscure Walk Hard, Talk Loud , a play by Abram Hill from the early1940's. Abram who? The name meant nothing to me, but Abram Hill (1910–1986) was a founder and director of the American Negro Theater in New York (1940–1951) and a playwright, it seems, of considerable verve. 3 That Abram Hill and the American Negro Theatre—the most important black theatre company during the mid-twentieth century—has flown below the radar is indicative of how much work still needs to be accomplished.
