Stratford Festival’s 2023 production of Alice Childress’s Wedding Band will soon be available for streaming.
Directed by Sam White, the play is an “emotional and revealing portrayal of interracial love”, set in South Carolina in the shadow of the First World War and the 1918 flu epidemic, the festival said in a media release.
It tells the story of Julia, a Black seamstress, and her white partner, Herman, a baker.
It is directed for film by Nicholas Shields.
The play has been produced only a few times since Childress wrote it in 1966, as interracial marriage remained contentious.
Wedding Band is available on Stratfest@Home, the Stratford Festival’s subscription streaming service, beginning Feb. 7.
