How Shakespeare Saved My Life

Downtown Berkeley

Jacob Ming-Trent weaves poetry, Shakespeare, and hip-hop icons into a raw, redemptive journey about reclaiming voice and identity. Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, this world premiere transforms Peet's Theatre into something like communal salvation.
