    The play takes place on the Gullah Islands off the coast of modern-day South Carolina, as a family of African-American artists comes together for a very momentous few days. Woodard plays the family matriarch, classical actress Josephine Nicholas Ark Trip. She joins Anthony Mackie (8 Mile) who plays her son, Constantine, aka C-Trip.

    Chekhov Shows He Can Rap

    Ben Brantley

    April 20, 2004: IN Regina Taylor's ''Drowning Crow,'' the desperate updating of Chekhov's ''Seagull'' that opened last night at the Biltmore Theater, scarcely a line goes by that doesn't mention some famous person, brand name, song or show. Why, the production's sulky hero, Constantine (also known as C-Trip and played by the handsome Anthony Mackie), is a walking, flaking, suicidal collage of tattered quotations and references.
