Black Poetry Theatre Presents: The Game- A Poetic Theatrical Exploration of Good vs. Evil in the Game of Life

Every year, George and Hank meet to play chess. It is a friendly game between two old friends. They pick a quaint spot and play a game that has been played for centuries. Only this chess match has special significance. These two players are God and the Devil and they are playing for dominion. The pieces are human lives, the board is a city on earth, and strategy is simple…don't lose. This year George has chosen Durham, NC as the place to play the game. Hank has chosen James as the key piece. Faith will be tested, good and evil will battle, and lives will never be the same. 

The Game is the second production this season for Black Poetry Theatre. Poet, playwright, songwriter, emcee, performance artist, writer, and educator Dasan Ahanu is the writer and co-director for the production. It is co-directed by Joseph "Church da Poet" Churchwell. It features some of the area's most notable artists.
