The Anne Frank Project 2014 is proud to present Frederick Douglass: Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory by Broadway legend André De Shields on Monday, September 8, at 7:00 p.m. in Warren Enters Theatre.
This story about brutality and deliverance—implausible yet historically accurate—will captivate you with a slave ballet, hand-to-hand combat, and impassioned singing. These are but a few of the elements that make up the journey from human bondage to freedom experienced by the young Douglass as performed by celebrated actor André De Shields in his self-crafted solo performance depicting the great black emancipator Frederick Douglass.
Gripping shackles, De Shields infuses his performance with dance, song, and rousing spoken word as he transforms from embittered and illiterate slave to America’s incomparable orator and abolitionist right before the eyes of his audience. As performed by De Shields, Douglass’s ultimate escape from chains to freedom is as full of hope and achievement as it is darkness and anger.
