- Book Synopsis
- Jordan E. Cooper's Ain't No Mo' is a hilarious satirical odyssey about the racial realities of life in the US. The time is the near future, and African American Airlines Flight 1619 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 organising the boarding process, and juggling the passengers' excitement and reluctance, as well as her own. 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, examining the ever-varying facets of the Black American experience: lives affected by violence, class tensions, the prison-industrial complex, and culture vultures. Ain't No Mo' premiered on Broadway at the Belasco Theatre in 2022.
