- Dreaming_Emmett abstract "Dreaming Emmett is the first play by the Nobel winning, African American writer Toni Morrison. First performed in 1986, the play was commissioned by the New York State Writers Institute at SUNY-Albany. The world premier of the play was on January 5, 1986, the first at the Market Theater in Albany, New York and directed by Gilbert Moses. After the first production of the play, Morrison collected all of the video recordings of the play, and copies of the script, and destroyed them (though some critics describe copies existing put not being released by Morrison). Thus all descriptions of the plot are reconstructed from contemporary reviews.The play is a historical play, retelling the story of Emmett Till, a 14 year old boy beaten to death after making a remark, and the subsequent trial and aquittal of the men who killed him. Morrison uses Till's story to explore the "contemporary black urban youth['s] disproportionately high rate of death by violence".The play received mixed reviews in its initial production.The play has a unique style and form. Margaret Croyden of the New York Times notes how the control of Till's imagination on play's elements and complex structural motifs, such as a play within a play, create a "nonnaturalistic" and "nonlinear" narrative.".
