From SF Opera’s take on a Verdi classic to a musical inspired by fancy hats, there is much to see, do and hear in the Bay Area this weekend.
For writer-performer Wayne Harris, connecting the past with the present isn’t a quirk in his work, it’s a foundational feature. It informs plays like his jazz-era drama “Jockamo” and helped bring his acclaimed solo show “The Letter: Martin Luther King at the Crossroads” to a Middle Eastern audience of Israeli and Palestinian patrons.
Set during the segregated U.S. of the 1950s, the play tells the stories of three Black men with connections to the country’s railroad expansion. The trio — one is the mythical John Henry — makes invaluable contributions to the country’s train system even as the men themselves aren’t allowed to partake in its luxuries. The three attempt to reconcile the importance of their work on behalf of a country where the threat of lynching is ever present.
