KING JAMES 

BY RAJIV JOSEPH | REGIONAL PREMIERE

DIRECTED BY CHERISH LOVE*

​

King James by Rajiv Joseph is a sharp, heartfelt play about the unlikely bond between two men brought together—and pulled apart—by their shared love of basketball and the rise of LeBron James. Written by Pulitzer Prize Finalist playwright Rajiv Joseph, this piece is set over the course of nearly two decades, the play traces the evolution of their friendship alongside the highs and lows of a sports dynasty. It's a funny, moving exploration of loyalty, identity, and the connections we build through fandom.

*King James is recommended for ages 14 and up. It contains strong language, including references to racism*
