Winner of the New York Theater Festival’s Best Script and Best Actor awards (with both leads being nominated), Race: The Movie: The Play follows a white chauffeur named Wyatt Saveyer (Bret Raybould) who serves as the driver for a brilliant black musician named Gene Yus (Dean Edwards) on a tour through the 1850s deep south.
The story quickly unravels and becomes a panoramic parody of all things tone-deaf Hollywood race movie (e.g. Green Book, 12 Years A Slave, Django Unchained, & more).
