Horizons and Higher Mountains MLK Day Reading at Flea Theater

Horizons and Higher Mountains is the highly anticipated sequel to Brown’s acclaimed play THE FIGHT, which was developed through The Apollo’s New Works Program and featured in an industry reading at Open Jar Studios. While THE FIGHT explored the explosive tensions of 1971 Newark on the night of the Ali–Frazier fight, the new play shifts forward to 1981, diving into themes of grief, forgiveness, and the emotional aftermath of the Black Power Movement’s decline. The event will conclude with a talkback conversation, exploring the play’s themes and its connection to the current social climate.
