Great Macdaddy, The

Synopsis:
the Great MacDaddy was originally staged in a 1974 Negro ensemble Company production that featured Al Freeman, Jr., Phylicia Rashad, Cleavon Little and Hattie Winston. One of the company's seminal works, the Great MacDaddy is a rich and theatrically vital text set to music and expressed largely through folkloric archetypes from the African American oral tradition. It is one of the only plays that examine the African-American journey in the United States in terms of universal myth and metaphor.
