News PHOTO CALL: John Guare's A Free Man of Color, With Jeffrey Wright, on Broadway Tony winner Jeffrey Wright stars in world premiere of Tony Award-winning playwright John Guare's globe-spanning work A Free Man of Color, which plays the Vivian Beaumont Theater.

According to LCT, "A Free Man of Color is a freewheeling epic set in 1801 New Orleans. Jacques Cornet, the title character, is a new world Don Juan and the wealthiest inhabitant of this sexually charged and racially progressive city. Jacques thinks all is well in his paradise until history intervenes, setting off a chain of events which no one, much less this free man of color, realizes is about to splinter the world."

Here is a first look at the show:
