There is a well-known Native American proverb about the spirits of two wolves that live inside all of us. One is violent and aggressive. The other is peaceful and benevolent. The wolves are always fighting and the one that wins, according to the proverb, is the one we feed the most. In every battle we fight, we can choose which way to respond. Are we going to react with aggression and violence or with compassion and empathy?. Two of the greatest leaders of the civil rights movement in the United States, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, were similarly two sides of the same coin. One preached nonviolent protest while the other was willing to use violence to stop or defend against violence. In Jeff Stetson's play The Meeting, receiving its New England premiere at Ocean State Theatre Company, we witness an imagined encounter between these two men, who in real life met only once, and briefly. This time, they get a little over an hour, in a hotel room in Harlem in 1965, to discuss, debate and arm wrestle, figuratively and literally, over the best way to achieve their common goals.
