Wine in the Wilderness is a classic play by Alice Childress presented at Classic Stage Company. Set during the Harlem riots of 1964, the play explores issues of race, class, and identity through the story of a painter whose idealized vision of Black womanhood is challenged by a real woman from the streets. A powerful work examining social and cultural tensions in mid-20th century America.
