Theater

The article provides information related to theater. An example is Derek Walcott's two-man Pantomime which appeared to thunderous unacclaim for a short run at The New Theatre of Brooklyn. An English actor has ditched his life in England and gone to manage a hotel in Tobago, where his black Trinidadian servant brings him breakfast and repairs the sun deck. The Englishman is liberal-minded, has no truck with racism, is not even a fervent defender of property. Racism, however, isn't an attitude, it is a social structure; it isn't or needn't be a doctrine, it is something that happens in relationships.
