A Man In Five Dimensions Of The Same Universe

  

A new one-man show by playwright Howard Crafttells the story of a man who exists in five incarnations at different points in American history. 

The show spans 100 years and tells the stories of a man named Abel Green who appears as a minstrel in one universe, and a cult leader, FBI informant, struggling actor, and out-of-work mortgage broker in four other universes. While the men all live in different eras, they struggle with the same central question: how do I make decisions and survive given my racial, political and social surroundings? 

Host Frank Stasio talks with playwright Howard Craft and performer Alphonse Nicholson about the show Freight: The Five Incarnations of Abel Greenon stage at Swain Hall at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill through January 24.
