County of Kings

The sheer talent of Lemon Anderson makes what could have been a cliched, depressing story about a difficult inner city life into an uplifting, life-affirming hour and a half. Its a testament to the transformative power of words, and to the power of theater. Not to be missed.

I just saw this show during previews and was moved by the story and in awe of the talent of Lemon. He takes spoken word to a higher plane. I recommend this show to all and in particular, Brooklynites and New Yorkers.
