Big White Fog

Big White Fog

"Big White Fog" is a play by American playwright Theodore Ward and was his first major work. Completed in 1937, it was produced by the Negro Unit of the Chicago Federal Theatre Project (FTP) in 1938 and opened amid controversy.

In 1940 Ward joined Langston Hughes, Paul Robeson, Theodore Browne, Richard Wright and Alain Locke to form the Negro Playwrights Company in New York. Their first production was a revival of "Big White Fog" at the Lincoln Theatre in Harlem.

"Big White Fog" received its European premiere at the Almeida Theatre in London on 11 May 2007. This production was dedicated to Mary Sangigian, an Armenian-American social activist who was married to Ward for 23 years and died in 2007 aged 95.
