A man in this play says, “I know you, you old cancer, and I know myself as well,” in a monologue quoted at the end of Audre Lorde’s essay “The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House.” When a girl in this play calls to her father for help, he enters carrying a megaphone and reassures her, “It’s only a play.” In this play, a character enters singing “Oh Susannah” and drunkenly plots to sell a man sleeping under a wheelbarrow to a carnival. This play ends with a man lamenting being overrun with (*) opossums while the protagonist sings in the distance, “FREEDOM HI-DAY!” A Master of Ceremonies encourages actors to pick out masks at the start of this play, whose protagonist worships the black god Eshu and demands to be called X. For 10 points, name this postcolonial retelling of a Shakespeare play, written by Aimé Césaire. ■END■
