Retrograde

Author(s): Ryan Calais Cameron

The Golden Age of Hollywood. Behind closed doors, aspiring actor Sidney Poitier is offered a lucrative contract that could make him a superstar. But what is he willing to sacrifice?

From the writer of award-winning, sold-out, For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy, Ryan Calais Cameron’s new play explores identity, resilience, and integrity as it examines a true event in 1960s Hollywood and the reality of a black actor’s journey to stardom.
