description: Winner of the Governor General's Award for Drama. Winner of the Chalmers Play Award. A rhapsodic blues tragedy. Harlem Duet could be the prelude to Shakepeare's Othello and recounts the tale of Othello and his first wife Billie (yes before Desdemona). Set in contemporary Harlem at the corner of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X boulevards the play explores the space where race and sex intersect. Harlem Duet is Billie's story.
