A LITERATURE TO LIFE PRODUCTION

County of Kings is a tough, yet poignant biographical account of a good kid growing up in an unforgiving environment. Adapted from the extraordinary life of slam poet, playwright, and speaker, Lemon Andersen, this riveting on-stage memoir will resonate with young audiences long after they leave the theatre. Lemon, whose parents met at a methadone clinic and died from AIDS, served two prison sentences before he was 21 and won a Tony Award before he turned 30. Weaving hard-edged drama with urban poetry, County of Kings is a coming-of-age story told with profound honesty, compassion and humor.
