Whatever happened to Colin Powell?

This lecture performance gives an alternative perspective on the life and times of former us Secretary of State Colin Powell.

 

Originally a topical piece written in response to Powell's resignation
in 2004, this reworked version continues to interrogate the theme of
comparative biography between performer and politician, while
questioning its own relevance in the light of Powell's virtual
disappearance from the public eye. Upon examining the biographical
description of the politician, Robin Deacon muses on whether it could
be his self-portrait.
