Dutchman  is a one act play that was first presented at the Cherry Lane Theater in New York City in March of 1964 (written in ‘63). It’s about a black male and a white female and was cited as the interracial Adam and Eve (which I’m not quite sure about) by some websites. The play starts out with twenty year old Clay riding on the subway. Lula makes a somewhat seductive entrance and starts talking with Clay. She is very seductive and makes him feel comfortable until she begins to insult and embarrass him on the train. He smacks her around a little and when he decides to get off the train she stabs him twice, killing him. The rest of the people on the train ignore it and quickly exit. On comes another  young black man and Lula begins her next act. Dutchman
