    PRODUCTION DESCRIPTION
    Harlem Duet by Djanet Sears will be presented in Bard on the Beach’s 2022 Season on the

    Often called a prelude to Shakespeare’s Othello, Harlem Duet tells the story of Othello and his
    first wife, Billie—the woman he married before Desdemona. Their history is told through the
    lives of three couples, each named Othello and Billie, during eras of special significance in the
    Black American Experience: 1860, prior to the Emancipation Proclamation; 1928, at the height
    of the historic Harlem Renaissance; and 1997, post-civil rights and pre-21st century.

    Rehearsals: May 16 – June 20, 2022

    Closing: July 17
    Possible extension until: July 21
