Two Black Male Faculty on Directing Jackie Sibblies Drury’s Fairview
Our Fairview in Three Acts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 December 2025
Abstract
When two black male directors produce university productions of Jackie Sibblies Drury’s Fairview in different parts of the country at the same time, they bond over their shared understanding of the white gaze, and how black people are created and viewed in the white imagination, both in the play and in their own lives.
