It’s 1957. Bombs are exploding in Black churches and lynchings are a fact of life for many across the U.S.
From these ashes a young Black writer emerges to become a literary celebrity bringing with him both his boundless talent and personal insecurities. Set in his creative imagination, Waiting For Giovanni dramatizes James Baldwin's personal, professional and artistic struggles as he completes his groundbreaking 1956 novel Giovanni's Room.
