BWW Review: Roger Guenveur Smith Gives a Masterful Performance in his Artfully Constructed One-Man Show RODNEY KING
by Jill Schafer - Oct 6, 2015


'Can we all get along?' This famous plea uttered by Rodney King during the 1992 L.A. Riots, a reaction to the acquittal of the four LAPD officers who severely beat him a year earlier, is often what he's most remembered for. I admit that after more than 20 years, I had forgotten many of the details, and didn't even realize that he died three years ago. But in this one-man show written and performed by Roger Guenveur Smith, Rodney King's story comes alive again - the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's a virtuoso performance that is poetic and lyrical, harsh and disturbing. Roger has performed this piece around the world and has brought it to St. Paul's Penumbra Theatre for just two weeks. It's definitely something to see.

His album High Wide & Handsome won a GRAMMY in 2010, and in April 2015 he was awarded BBC 2's Lifetime Achievement Award for songwriting.
