AND1: A King James Review
Theaterworks Hartford’s production of King James, a comedy by Rajiv Joseph, directed by Rob Ruggiero, explores themes of love and grief as time takes its toll. Matt and Shawn, two Cleveland Cavalier fans meet over the sale of a set of season passes in 2004—a moment that forges a lifetime of friendship. This production takes the surface of sports fandom and excavates all that life stores behind it.
“The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic.”
