DIR ECTOR’S NOTES I could barely contain my excitement when Mark Clements invited me to direct Dael Orlandersmith’s Yellowman. It had long been my wish to direct the play. And now, ten years after I assisted on the world premiere as a directing intern at Long Wharf Theatre, I would have the chance. Working on that show was to date one of the most profound experiences in my early career. Inspired by Dael Orlandersmith’s passion for giving voice to the underrepresented and her unabashed bravery to shed light on difficult subjects, I was truly shaped as an artist by the experience.

Embracing the simplest, most essential components of theater, Yellowman solely relies on storytelling and the power of the shared human experience. The actors, Erica Bradshaw and Ryan Quinn, intrepidly step on stage to share the love story between Alma and Eugene, a complex story rooted in a long history of racism and economic oppression.

Much has changed in the world in the last yen years, but walking along the dusty dirt roads, I gathered not much had changed in St. Stephen and Russelville, South Carolina, where Yellowman takes place.

On a research trip to the area, I photographed the world that Alma and Eugene inhabited, taking pictures of houses, the corner store and the golden, sun drenched grasses of the Carolinian lowlands. In my interviews, many spoke of the economic depression, lack of job opportunity and education. Many did not know how to email or surf the Internet and cellular service was spotty at best. They were friendly, eager to talk to me – even though they initially suspected I was part of the FBI, as no one “came around down heah” to take an interest in them.

They also wanted to take pictures of me, having never seen a person of Asian descent. This is an isolated world, somehow left decades behind the economic development of the surrounding areas of Charleston and Hilton Head.

In this small isolated world, a hierarchy of power is developed, where light skin is privileged over dark. It is this world that the two starcrossed lovers, Eugene and Alma, try to change through their optimism and love for one another. They grapple with the same oppression and hardship their parents before them faced – and their parents before them faced. It is a cycle of violence and prejudice that can be traced back to slavery.

Ten years after its world premiere, Yellowman remains just as potent, poetic and powerful. It is not just a Southern story – not just an AfricanAmerican story. Oppression exists in all races and in every part of the country. The play is universal as it exposes the cyclical violence and abuse within families and societies. We tell this story in hopes that it might bring to light the danger of such cycles and inspire others to take responsibility to change detrimental learned behavior, such as racism, alcoholism and abuse.

Special Thanks to my interviewees: Ricky Poinsette, Helen Smalls, Aaron Lampkin, BBD and Alfred, the most famous barber of Russelville.

May Adrales Director Yellowman – 4

The Culture of the Gullah Once stretching from Jacksonville, North Carolina to Jacksonville, Florida, the culture of the Gullah – or Geechee – people has a strong heritage full of traditional crafts, art, music and stories told in their own melodic language that is now confined mostly to the coastal regions of southern South Carolina and northern Georgia.

Though the peoples of all these “The Old Plantation,” South Carolina, about 1790. islands share much of the same language and culture, the people of South Carolina often refer to themselves as Gullah where those of Georgia are often referred to as Geechee. Both names are thought to arise from different tribes in and around Sierra Leone in Africa.

In Yellowman, the characters live in an area about 40 miles from the Atlantic coast on the shore of Lake Moultrie, a large flooded cypress swamp. St. Stephen and the more rural Russelville, where Eugene and Alma – Yellowman’s lead characters – grew up, are populated not by the Gullah people themselves, but from those who left their culture behind to seek economic opportunities further inland. The older generations, like Eugene’s father and Alma’s mother, have stronger connections to the Gullah, whereas the younger generations, like Eugene, his father and Alma, may disdain their shared heritage.

Gullah culture is a creole society. The Gullah people descend from many different African tribes, and many of their traditions emphasize the things that they had in common. The people are known for their fishing tradition, their weaving of sweetgrass baskets, their ironwork on many of the gates of Charleston, and their traditional storytelling – made famous in the book Uncle Remus: Legends of the Old Plantation published by Joel Chandler Harris in 1881. Though many of the strong adherents to the traditions of the Gullah remain only on the islands along the coast of South Carolina and Georgia, their influence can be felt all over the region, from the traditional “southern” dishes like she-crab soup, beans and rice, yams, okra and collard greens, to musical instruments like the banjo. As the community became less isolated in the past 60 years, many people have moved away, gone to college and sought out better economic opportunities in other parts of the country. Many of these people, Mrs. Queen Ellis of Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, making a sweetgrass basket, 1976. however, bring their children back to 5 – Yellowman

family gatherings where they meet grandparents, are exposed to Gullah lore, and learn from the local environment. Though the traditional community is rather small, a survey conducted by the Summer Institute of Linguistics in 1979 found over 100,000 Gullah speakers, 10,000 of which spoke only Gullah.

Other more recent studies have suggested that as many as Mrs. Ida Wilson selling sweetgrass baskets, 1965.

500,000 people with ties to the Gullah culture live throughout the Southeast.

The Gullah Language An excerpt from I Have a Dream by Martin Luther King, Jr. Translated to Gullah by Alphonso Brown “Ie say tuh unnuh teday, mye frien’, eeb’n dough we duh face dees haad time yuh ob teday ‘n temorruh, Ie still hab uh dreem. ‘E uh dreem wuh staat way down een America dreem.

Ie hab disshuh dreem dat one day dis America gwi’ come up ‘n be tru’ mout’ ob de law wah call de Creed: “We hol’ dees trut’ fuh be sef-ebbuhdent, dat all man duh mek equal.”

“I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”

Gullah is what linguists call an English-based creole language. Creole languages usually form when people of different cultures and linguistic backgrounds are thrown together and must find a way of communicating.

These situations usually arise around port cities, trade routes, colonial settlements and slavery. The new hybrid language typically melds linguistic influences from the different constituent languages. In the case of Gullah, the majority of the vocabulary comes from English, but a large minority of the words comes from several African languages. The grammar, sentence structure and pronunciation of the English words are also altered by this cross pollination of languages.
