Cincinnati Black Theatre Company Presents Hip-Hop meets Shakespeare

REVENGE OF A KING Conceived by Herb Newsome , REVENGE OF A KING is a hip-hop multicultural musical featuring original music, freestyle rhymes, an MC battle, graffiti, dance and a live DJ. HAMLET, one of the most recognizable tragedies in Shakespeare's theatrical canon has been transplanted from Denmark to the gritty streets of New York. This theatrical retelling of a classic is a tragic rhapsody laced with a hip-hop beat. REVENGE OF A KING combines the elements of hip-hop and themes from Shakespeare to give you a brand new piece of theater. The play, conceived by Herb Newsome follows the story of Hamilton L. King, an aspiring hip-hop artist, as he deals with overcoming his father’s mysterious death while simultaneously learning to accept his mother’s untimely marriage. Confusion, doubt, and thoughts of retribution take over as new elements unfold leading him down a path of self-destruction!
