Black History Month Special - A Huey P. Newton Story
From L.A. Theatre Works | Part of the L.A. Theatre Works series | 01:57:54
One of the most distinctive voices in civil rights history re-emerges to tell his own story.
In his brilliantly imagined, Obie Award-winning show, Roger Guenveur Smith explores the life of the controversial Black Panther leader through a series of improvisations based on Newton's own words and writings. Biography, satire, and socio-political commentary blend within a landscape of fantastic sound design to create a provocative, surreal and always surprising portrait of the complex times in which he lived. Written, performed, and directed by Roger Guenveur Smith. Sound design by Marc Anthony Thompson.
