"Native Son" is a gripping stage adaptation of Richard Wright's novel, following the life of Bigger Thomas, an African American man in 1930s Chicago. Fueled by frustration and societal oppression, Bigger's actions lead to a tragic chain of events, forcing the audience to confront the enduring impact of racism and the complexities of identity in a powerful exploration of social justice.
