Ain’t No Mo'

Jordan E. Cooper

An uproarious play comprised of vignettes that deftly satirize post-"post-racial" America.

Jordan E. Cooper'sAin't No Mo'is a hilarious satirical odyssey that needles post-Obama racial realities of life in the U.S. The time is the near future, and a giant plane has been chartered to take Black Americans "back to Africa." Hurrying passengers down the runway is Peaches, a flight attendant (played by a performer in drag) who is organizing the boarding process. Within this frame, Cooper examines lives torn apart by gang violence, the aspirations of a Black middle class eager to leave behind those they feel are beneath them, and the equally delusional aspirations of some white Americans to "transition" into Blackness.Ain't No Mo'is a laugh-a-minute comedy that doubles as a serious investigation of the ways that Blackness in America has always been both a burden and a prize.
