Creative Conversations: Julius X

Julius X director Nicole Brewer shares her creative perspectives on the production alongside members of the creative team in an insightful pre-performance discussion moderated by Folger Theatre Artistic Director Karen Ann Daniels.

With detailed, period-inspired costumes by Danielle Preston and a deep dive into the historical moment of Malcolm X’s life by John “Ray” Proctor, the members of the creative team have brought to life “not the story you know, but somewhere in-between,” a dramatic world bridging Shakespeare’s Roman tragedy and the history of Malcolm X’s last days.
