79 - GREAT PERFORMANCES: BLACK LUCY AND THE BARD

This cross-disciplinary Nashville Ballet production featuring the poetry of Caroline Randall Williams, an original score by Rhiannon Giddens and Francesco Turrisi and choreography by Paul Vasterling imagines that the Dark Lady and Fair Youth of Shakespeare’s love sonnets were a Black woman and a young man. John Anderson of The Wall Street Journal praises the show as “[a] rare a thing – a highly ambitious, entertaining, mixed-media presentation on public television.”
