BY FRANK TRIPPETI

What makes a gambler bet? What turns him into one of

THE SUCKERS Feverishly, he wagers on craps, sports, cards, horses, anything.

He lose -and bets on. And he tells of a deep th rill he knows. He may be at the game or the track, but it's all inside, this special thing, in the secret and intricate world of the self. What sets those thrummjng tensions going, making the gambler feel really alive, as though the "action" were life it elf?

Black Theatre: The American 'ftagicVoice

by John Lahr

The black playwright-shut out from the nation's destiny-has a freedom and a chosen role similar to Hamlet's in the Danish court: holding the mirror up to the ugliness and paradox of our society.

New York! I say to you: New York let black blood flow into your blood

That it may rub the rust /rom your steel jointa,like an oil of life ...

-Leopold Sedar Senghor, "New York"

geois society for which it stands. Its themes of loneliness and alienation, desperation and betrayal are the residue of the white middle class' inability to feel the tempo of a nation or claim the future the way it controlled the past. In its conventional forms, white theatre no longer confronts the world, but escapes it- a decoration calling itself "ridiculous," "absu rd," "entertainment." History has left the wh"ite dramatist with slim pickings, the scope of his drama, like that of his life, reduced by accumulated guilt.

He must face the difficult task of reexamining the myopia of national myths or wallow in a sad and puling decadence. He can no longer speak with the fire of tragedy because his words have been used to oppress; the justness of his cause is com-

promised by current events. The urgency which nurtures great theatre has been lost to his stage, just as risk ( metaphysical or otherwise ) has been eliminated for corporate, white America. As in any age, great theatre comes from the belly as well as the brain. For this reason alone, black theatre holds an awesome possibility for America, that of rediscovering a lost and noble form -tragedy. Never since Elizabethan times has a nation's destiny been in such flux, and never has the expression of a people taken on the weight of the entire moral universe.

Black theatre cannot be dismissed as "esthetically naive" when it is so intimately involved with leading its community. The power of its content cannot be denied: We will scream and cry, murder, run

to actual life of what the world is and what it ought to be, We are preaching virtue and feeling, and a naturalsen.se of the self in the world; -LeRoiJones, "The Revolutionary Theater"

The language in black theatre is not an eclectic brew of book learning and occult fashion like that of the Living Theatre. Words grow organ-

ically from the black experience, to form a vocabulary connected to a universe of pain, resonating with a potential which puts the black actor in touch with his body and spirit as well as the cosmic questions raised by American life. Black theatre is survival energy, and the fiber of a new tragic experience.

America has entered an era of tragedy. 1969 is a time of Herculean hyperbole, an historical moment where the will of the individual is pitched uncompromisingly againf!! the omnivorous forces of authority, where each second forces the individual to reevaluate his world. In Renaissance England the Church was the specter which haunted the tragic heroes from Marlowe's Dr. Faustus to Shakespeare's Hamlet.

In modern America, it is the State which is the focal point of radical rebellion. In these perilous times, the black man-unincorporated into the nation's destiny- has both a freedom and a chosen role similar to Hamlet's in the Danish court.

The black man, not the white, has assumed the tragic stance, holding the mirror up to nature and reflecting the ugliness: and paradox of
