*This 1955 comedy-drama planned for Broadway but canceled when the playwright wouldn’t tone down its message. The play focuses on racism and sexism in American theatre. A scathing indictment of racism in American commercial theatre, Trouble in Mind tells the story of Wiletta Mayer, an African-American actress cast in a supposedly “progressive” play about racism by a white male author?it turns out to be anything but progressive, both in terms of its script and rehearsal environment. *
