Synopsis

The Great White Hope

$10.99

Howard Sackler

Published by Samuel French Inc

Large Mixed Cast
"A great part a tragic hero, cheated, degraded, and at last brutally beaten. Mr. Sackler has used his hero, a figure based on the first Black heavyweight champion of the world, Jack Johnson, as a symbol in part of Black aspiration.... Has an epic scope and range.... It picks up the Johnson story soon after the Australian day in 1908 when Johnson whipped Tommy Burns and takes it to Havana in 1915, when Jess Willard, the Great White Hope, won it back for the Whites at least for a time" ~ N.Y. Times

"A highly theatrical and hugely rewarding evening" ~ N.Y. Daily News

"Great theatre. Broadway at its very best" ~ A.P
