Brooklyn-born Puerto Rican/Norwegian poet Lemon Andersen’s County of Kings is a one man show being presented by Spike Lee and the Culture Project. The show will begin its New York City run at The Public Theater on Monday, October 12th, however special-priced previews became available yesterday.
Featured last year as part of The Public Theater’s ‘Under The Radar Festival’, Lemon Andersen’s County of Kings provides its audience with a tough look into the life of a good kid raised by heroin addicts in the 1980’s.
“Lemon is a young man who possesses a wealth of talent and he knows how to tell a story. He joins the legacy of storytellers from Brooklyn” says Spike Lee
All tickets for preview performances of County of Kings (through Oct 11th) are specially priced at $25 (regular price $50-$60.) Tickets are available in person at 425 Lafayette Street, online at www.publictheater.org, or by calling (212) 967-7555.
I was pleasantly surprised by a request to attend the preview tomorrow evening so that i could write a little something. Stay tuned to MusingsandScribbles(.com) !
