Jerod Haynes lost some of his friends to the streets of Chicago. He reflected on that when reprising the lead role of Bigger in a revival of Richard Wright’s Native Son, which is currently playing — and sparking raw conversation and reflection — at Yale Repertory Theatre.

Haynes opened up about his life, about race, about the revival of the play, in a revealing interview with Babz Rawls-Ivy on WNHH FM’s Love Babz Love Talk” program.
