How Shakespeare Saved My Life is an autobiographical-inspired theatrical work by playwright and award-winning actor Jacob Ming-Trent.
In this tour-de-force performance, Ming-Trent dares to rescue himself from the slings and arrows of his past. Born with a gift for poetry but rejected as unfit to play the part of the poet, Ming-Trent's search for home is relentless, and the results are by turns hilarious and tragic. Invoking a host of artistic geniuses such as Biggie, Tupac, Shakespeare, and Basquiat, Ming-Trent takes us on a propulsive ride that reaffirms the power of language and music. It all adds up to how one man's attempt to reclaim his life may connect to the deeper parts of ourselves and to each other. How Shakespeare Saved My Life is an epiphany that begins with Shakespeare but becomes a ritual of salvation and forgiveness that invites the audience to save themselves and each other. This edition features an interview between the author, James Shapiro and Kathryn Vomero Santos.Also in
