Marin Theatre Co.'s Production of 'Native Son' Basks in Rave Reviews
MTC centered its golden anniversary around an adaption of an intense, suffocatingly bleak tome – and it's paid off.
Marin Theatre Company Artistic Director Jasson Minadakis didn’t mince words when he introduced the opening night production of Native Son, Nambi E. Kelley’s adaptation of Richard Wright’s hugely influential 1940 novel.
"It is unbelievable that this amazing piece of art that was created in 1940 is still so important and relevant," Minadakis said. "It's still so important that we built our 50th season around it. It's important to keep pushing the conversation forward and making sure that our society is more humane."
