'Ain't No Mo,' the Uproarious Satire Explodes With Brilliance on Broadway

This is a must-see in its hysterical and serious confrontation of white supremacist racism in Black America.

Jordan E. Cooper in Ain’t No Mo (courtesy of Joan Marcus) Ain’t No Mo which premiered at The Public Theater in 2019 brings its scathing, sardonic wit and wisdom to Broadway in a broader, handsomer, electrically paced production with incredible performances and extraordinary, complex dynamism. Presented by a host of producing partners with Lee Daniels topping the list and The Public Theater…

Broadway's Ain't No Mo' is Totally Enough

Crystal Lucas-Perry. in Broadway’s Ain’t No Mo’ Photo by Joan Marcus. The Broadway Theatre Review: Ain’t No Mo‘ By Ross “Say yes, bitch!” Exactly. Especially once the sound ministry gets it together and wakes up the mournful spectacularly in white. You see, the Right to Complain died back on that historic day in 2008, when that black man, Barack Hussein Obama became the 44th President of these…

Favourite CID Era

S4-6 also includes Don't Like Monday (Tosh's family at the bank) and Ted and Roxanne's first appearance together as officer/snout

Series 7-9 inc Viv's death, Dashers guesting after leaving, Frank disappearing without warning for a mystery job and Harry Haines arriving. Danny Pearce, Jo Morgan and Alan Woods also arrive. Jo is promoted to DS after a few eps. Jack is demoted to DCI and returns as a regular rather than guesting as part of AMIP.

Series 10-13 includes Rod being rather chauvinistic to poor Suzi who becomes CID in this series. Jo returns for a guest period and is about to move back permanently before.. ahem. The Target trilogy are a particular work of art in series 11. Don arrives in series 11 when Deakin is promoted to DI after Sally goes. John Boulton arrives not long after too and finally in series 12 Geoff and Liz arrive and Alan goes and Tom Proctor brings up the rear in S13. There is a lot of Alistair and Suzi fun however as she gently teases him throughout.

Series 14-16 brings Duncan and Kerry Holmes with Tosh leaving through sad real-life happenings and Alistair transferring as does Suzi. Series 15 brings Danny Glaze and Claire Stanton as an undercover CIB agent trying to catch Don. She doesn't expect to fall in love with another CID member, however. Unfortunately, we do lose Liz in 15 but she does pop back a few times. Series 16 is a BIG CID-focused series. Rod jumps before he's pushed and the truth about Don comes out after he and John have a fight. We lose John, Don, Kerry, Claire, Geoff, Deakin, Tom, and Tom. We gain Paul Riley, Kate Spears, Vik Singh, Alex Cullen, and Debbie McAllister. A somewhat unfair exchange. Saving the best until last however for series 16 as Mickey also arrives and is at his cheeky scamp best.

Series 17-18 Near the end of series 16 we got a whole new bunch of CID after a mass exodus due to Don being revealed as a dodgy officer. To give them a chance to bed in properly, there were no cast changes to CID in series 17. The new lot featured heavily, Mickey went undercover as a rentboy for a bit and then as a football hooligan. Debbie's snout was her lover and there was quite hoo hah about him, There's a couple of guest appearances from Liz, one of which is a multi-parter that terrifies Kate Spears, Claire follows Don over to Australia to tr catch him and bring him to justice. In series 18 we lose Vik, Paul, Kate and Alex Cullen but gain Eva, Ken Drummond, Phil Hunter, Sam Nixon and Brandon. Series 18 is also the beginning of the numbered episodes and Paul Marquess...

Series 19-21: we gain Juliet for a short time before Rae gets fed up of the sexualised bisexual obsession for her storylines and we also end up with sexist arse, Rob Thatcher whilst losing Duncan, Danny and it's the first exit of Mickey too post-rape and the death of his mother over to MIT. It's not all bad, we also get Terry, Ramani and Neil. In series 20 we lose Rob when he finishes his vengeance against The Radfords by murdering Irene and being shot by CO19. We also lose Debbie and Brandon and Eva transferred to MIT. We gain Suzie in return, however. Series 21 we lose Ken in an explosion and Jim walks away after losing June and Ken. Gary who has been playing in CID for a little while gets short and transfers to the Manchester police. Jo arrives and Mickey returns from MIT. There's a mysterious newbie when Adi Mateen pretending Zain also arrives when it turns out that he's not the annoying gangster that's been buzzing round Sun Hill but has been undercover!

Series 22-24 - In series 22 we lose Ramani and Suzie, however, we gain Stuart and Kezia. THISISNOTAFAIRSWAP. Ahem. In series 23 we gain Grace and also Max at the very very end, Zain reaches the end of his tenure after being drawn to the dark side with Kristen and Phil transfers out rather suddenly as Scott appears to have jumped very quickly over to EastEnders. Series 24 welcomes Stevie and Banksy and we don't lose anyone!

Series 25-26 - I ummed and ahhed about making the last series a stand-alone selection on its own because it's a reboot but given it's only essentially half a year long and that the character changes happen in series 25 I put the two together. So, in this series we lose Jack as DCI because he becomes Superintendent. However we don't gain a new DCI, Neil just remains DI and does both jobs. Jo gets promoted but moves to uniform. Sam, Stuart and Kezia go (Could not have taken Sam being promoted to DCI!) and no one else leaves (other than Will) from CID until the very end. We have Mickey undercover as a homeless man, Max's drug problem and Mickey and Terry confronting him. Grace and Neil get together but Neil's son is diagnosed with cancer and so much more. Finally the entire station works together to nail the rapists of poor Jasmine (Respect 1-2)!

(Yep you guessed it, I meant to post this in the sierra-Oscar comm but got distracted.)

The Review: The New Group’s one in two

by Ross

“Welcome to the Club“, an absurdist invitation that weighs heavy, as heavy as that 2016 CDC study released which projected that “one in two Black gay and bisexual men will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetime“. It’s a horrifying statistic, particularly startling as the numbers…

15 Plays and Musicals to Go to in N.Y.C. This Weekend

‘MAC BETH’ at the Lucille Lortel Theater (previews start on May 7; opens on May 19). Something wicked this way comes to Red Bull Theater. The company follows a bloody production of “The White Devil” with more blood. Adapted and directed by Erica Schmidt, this version of Shakespeare’s tragedy of power, horror and fate stars an all-female cast including Isabelle Fuhrman and Ismenia Mendes. 212-352-3101, redbulltheater.com

[Read about the events that our other critics have chosen for the week ahead.]

‘PASSAGE’ at Soho Rep (in previews; opens on May 5). Can the oppressors and the oppressed hang out? Christopher Chen, a form-breaking playwright, offers a dreamy anatomy of colonialism, imagining Country X, which is ruled by Country Y, and the citizens caught in the middle. Saheem Ali directs. 866-811-4111, sohorep.org

‘PROOF OF LOVE’ at the Minetta Lane Theater (previews start on May 7; opens on May 14). See it with your eyes before you hear it through your earbuds. In this Chisa Hutchinson play, produced by Audible and New York Theater Workshop, Brenda Pressley stars as a middle-class matriarch facing the devastation of her marriage, family and life. Jade King Carroll directs. 800-982-2787, proofoflovetheplay.com

‘SOMETHING CLEAN’ at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theater (previews start on May 4; opens on May 29). Kathryn Erbe, a longtime star of “Law & Order: Criminal Intent,” explores another side of crime and punishment. In Selina Fillinger’s drama for Roundabout Underground, she plays Charlotte, a woman whose son has been convicted of sexual assault. Daniel Jenkins and Christopher Livingston also star. Margot Bordelon directs. 212-719-1300, roundabouttheatre.org

‘THE TEMPEST’ at the Public Theater (in previews; opens on May 3). The Public Theater’s Mobile Unit, which brings the Swan of Avon to shelters, correctional facilities and various community performance spaces, comes ashore at the Public Theater. Laurie Woolery directs a cast that includes Sam Morales as Miranda and the wonderful Myra Lucretia Taylor as Prospero. 212-967-7555, publictheater.org

Last Chance

‘AIN’T NO MO’ at the Public Theater (closes on May 5). Jordan E. Cooper’s debut play, a comedy with turbulence, comes in for a landing. A series of vignettes, directed by Stevie Walker-Webb and inspired by the idea that African-Americans might decide to leave the United States en masse, the play is, as Jesse Green wrote, “thrilling, bewildering, campy, shrewd, mortifying, scary, devastating and deep.” 212-967-7555, publictheater.org

‘MRS. MURRAY’S MENAGERIE’ at Greenwich House Theater (closes on May 11). This play, devised by the Mad Ones troupe, is about a children’s television show going off the air in 1979. Jesse Green had particular praise for the acting and the characters, created by the ensemble and Lila Neugebauer. “The whole project,” Green wrote, “depends on an understanding of how people expose — cannot help exposing — their truest selves in every gesture and utterance they make.” arsnovanyc.com

‘WHITE NOISE’ at the Public Theater (closes on May 5). Suzan-Lori Parks’s exploration of the master-slave dynamic, directed by Oskar Eustis and starring Daveed Diggs, comes to an end. Ben Brantley wrote that in this “enthrallingly thought-packed” play, “Parks isn’t cutting anyone any slack. Herself included.” 212-967-7555, publictheater.org

Donja R. Love's New Play 'one in two' A Must See

Donja R. Love’s New Play ‘one in two’ A Must See

“one in two” presented by The New Group is the latest play you need to see. Written by Donja R. Love (Fireflies) and directed by Stevie Walker Webb (Ain’t No Mo’), “one in two” is inspired by the 2016 statistic that every one in two queer Black men have/will contract HIV.This show cleverly and precisely brings to life that very statistic, not by telling the story of someone who fits the…

[newyorktheater]

“Welcome to African-American Airlines, where if you broke & black, we got yo back” – those are the first two messages painted on the wall as we walk up the staircase in the Public Theater to “Ain’t No Mo’.”  The play by Jordan E. Cooper, making his Off-Broadway debut as both a playwright and an actor, takes its audience on a trip through the present-day African-American experience. The trip is meant to be more than just a metaphor.  Black people are leaving the United States en masse on flights to Africa. It appears to be voluntary, but maybe not really. “If you stay here, you only got two choices for guaranteed  housing, and that’s a cell or a coffin,” explains Peaches, portrayed by the playwright. Peaches, a drag queen dressed all in pink, functions as the airline’s flight attendant and ticket agent, and the playwright’s mouthpiece.

If the premise is mass African-American exodus, and some of the scenes take place at an airport, “Ain’t No’ Mo’” does not offer a direct flight.  We make stops at a funeral parlor, an abortion clinic, a TV studio, a mansion, and a prison, and veer from comic and chaotic to pointed and unsettling.

I saw a production of “Ain’t No Mo’” a couple of years ago when it was part of the annual Fire This Time Play Festival , which showcases the work of early-career playwrights of African and African-American descent. It was set at an African American funeral parlor on November 4th, 2008 — the day Barack Obama was elected president. Egged on by a fiery, foul-mouthed black preacher (Cooper himself) the mourners were weeping at the death of  “Right To Complain.” The none-too-subtle point was that the election of a black presidentdid not solve all of black people’s problems.

It was a short play, performed with exaggerated comic verve – nearly indistinguishable from sketch comedy.

That version of the play is now the first scene (Preacher Freeman now portrayed by Marchant Davis, just as broadly), in the greatly expanded production at the Public. There are now eight scenes – and each one feels like a skit.  Most involve some kind of surreal twist, none are realistic, but they take aim at current events. When the issues under surveillance involve life and death, the play hits close to a bullseye. Other times, it’s just taking potshots.

A bullseye: In the abortion clinic, which has a couple of surprises I won’t spoil, a woman (Ebony Marshall-Oliver) starts chatting about her three children, about how two are in jail, and the third, “my youngest was sweet but he’s laying over there in Grover’s Cemetery on Rosedale, you know the one across from the liquor store? He been there for about a year now, that’s a beautiful cemetery, ain’t it? They about all filled up though, with everybody dying nowadays like they is. They only got one spot left, right next to him and my selfish ass is out here trying to save it for my damn self…” That’s why she’s having an abortion.

A potshot: One scene spoofs reality shows, with an episode of something called “The Real Baby Mamas of the South Side.” The cast includes a woman (portrayed by Simone Recasner), who says she is “transracial” – a white woman transitioning to black. “I’m still having to take my daily doses of Hennessy, The Color Purple, with an unfavorable amount of cocoa butter and hot sauce…” She calls herself Rachonda, but her resentful cast mates insist on calling her by her original name, Rachel. (Two notes here: 1. Rachel Dolezal, you may recall, was an NAACP official whose white parents said in 2015 she was only pretending to be black. 2. The first season of the TV series “Atlanta” included a similar spoof, equating transgender with transracial.)

Cooper seems little interested in careful plotting or working out  the rules of the world he’s created. Is the government pushing black people out, or are they just sick of being victims? If they stay put, will they turn white, as at least one scene suggests?  The playwright is more concerned with commenting on the world in which he lives, employing memorable metaphors and a vibrant street diction.

Some theatergoers may appreciate knowing in advance that there is copious use of the n-word. A while back, I wrote an article about the use of the n-word on stage, and Cooper was one of the theater artists I interviewed. He said that’s just how black Americans of his generation talk (He’s now 24.) He also said: “It’s important to reclaim the word….There is such power in taking back something that was negative.”

There are sometimes dizzying shifts between the outlandish and the grim in “Ain’t No’ Mo’,” but if they may cause some audience members whiplash, both the design team and the six-member cast handle them with impressive dexterity. Five of the six performers each portray five characters apiece; it’s hard to keep track of who’s who, which is a great testament to their acting (and the wig, makeup and costume designers.)  Cooper gets only one role in his play, Peaches, and a final scene to himself at Gate 1619 (think about it) at the unnamed airport, in which he bowls us over. It wouldn’t be right to go into too much detail, but I will point out that the production carefully sets it up before the show starts, asking theatergoers, after they’ve passed all those signs on the way up the staircase, to fill out a card listing a great contribution that African-Americans have made to this country, and stick it into an old-fashioned multi-colored cloth traveling bag (what used to be called a carpet bag.)  In the final scene, this is Miss Bag, and she doesn’t want to leave. Peaches is indignant.

“You just gonna let them have Billie’s flower? If they get that, then they get Ella’s scat, They get Pac’s rap, They get Oprah’s fat…. and I’ll be damned if I leave and they get to keep Whitney off crack!” That’s just the beginning of a long free-associating, exhaustive and exhausting monologue, that’s maybe not completely coherent and maybe too much to take, and maybe inspired, and certainly the mark of a theater artist we’ll be hearing from again.
