Dion Boucicault’s The Octoroon was a controversial melodrama about the racism and regional resentment tearing mid-19th century America apart when it premiered in New York in 1859. Today, in the hands of tongue-in-cheek deconstructivist Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, it’s the earliest example of American theater audience’s perplexing love of plays about racism and slavery.
