The Amen Corner is a three-act play by James Baldwin. It was Baldwin's first work for the stage following the success of his novel Go Tell It on the Mountain. The drama was first published in 1954, and inspired a short-lived 1983 Broadway musical adaptation with the slightly truncated title, Amen Corner. Anton Philips' production of The Amen Corner at The Tricycle Theatre in 1987 was the first black-produced and directed play to transfer to the West End of London. Phillips directed a revival of the play, again at The Tricycle, in 1999. The play was revived at the National Theatre in London in the summer of 2013.

| - The Amen Corner, a volta tradotto come L'angolo dell'Amen, è la prima opera teatrale dello scrittore statunitense James Baldwin, portata in scena per la prima volta nel 1965 e pubblicata nel 1968. Il dramma esplora il ruolo della Chiesa in una comunità afroamericana segnata dalla povertà e dal pregiudizio. Il titolo fa riferimento a quello che nelle chiese di Harlem viene chiamato comunemente l'"Amen Corner", l'angolo a destra o di fronte al pulpito in cui si siedono gli anziani e i diaconi che rispondo "Amen" ad alta voce alle affermazioni del predicatore.
