The Kittie Knox Plays - Paperback
Description
by Patrick Gabridge (Author), Kirsten Greenidge (Author), Claire Soleil Gardner (Author)
Kittie Knox was a young biracial cyclist who fought against race-based limitations in America's post-Reconstruction reaction against Black advancement. During her cycling career (1893- 1899), she became a well-known century (100-mile) rider, protested the League of American Wheelmen's color bar, and refused to conform to conventions about "ladylike" speed and fashion while cycling. These vibrant plays chronicle the dramatic story of a turbulent time in America's history, with lessons for today's struggle for racial and gender equality and justice.
This book includes: the scripts for this innovative, site-specific project, information on the history of Kittie Knox and the Cycling Craze of the 1890s, production photos and reflections
from artists involved in the world premiere production, and discussion questions for use in the classroom. It is intended both to spur discussion and as a leaping off point for new productions.
