Two young scholars of color, adrift in a sea of white at a Shakespeare conference that could shape their careers, grapple with their longing for recognition, the scrabbling competitiveness of their peers, and their own hilarious personal demons in this laugh-out-loud funny, thought-provoking play. Chosen in ASC’s Shakespeare’s New Contemporaries Competition, Keene is a fascinating companion piece to Othello, weaving together the history of the first African American Othello with a court as treacherous as any Shakespeare could have imagined: academia.
