LYRICS FROM LOCKDOWN is an unforgettable journey through hip hop, theater, spoken word and song. This true story begins when Brooklyn's own Nuyorican Grand Slam Champion, Bryonn Bain ("60 Minutes," "The Village Voice," BET-J's "My Two Cents"), is wrongly imprisoned in NYC jails -- while studying law at Harvard. Weaving together the critical and comedic voices of his Trinidadian family, a Death Row survivor, and even a recovering Skinhead, this dynamic solo performance takes no prisoners as Bain tackles America's unresolved contradictions with virtuosic lyricism.
Presented in association with the Hip Hop Theater Festival.
