The Robey Theatre present A HEATED DISCUSSION REVISITED. On the strength of a successful run in 2022, A HEATED DISCUSSION REVISITED will open May 20th 2023. Levy Lee has updated the script for a second run of this provocative play. Living in these turbulent times of political, social and racial unrest, imagine what would happen if historical icons of the past are summoned by Yoruba African Orishas, Yemaya, Oshun and Oya, to a celestial setting to offer their commentary on what is going on in today’s world. Imagine what that encounter would be like. Well that is what occurs in, A Heated Discussion. The icons are: Malcolm X, Zora Neale Hurston, Lorraine Hansberry, Dr. Martin Luther King, Maya Angelou, Tupac Shakkur, Ida B. Wells, Dr. Francis Cress Welsing, James Baldwin, Bob Marley, Nina Simone, Richard Pryor and lastly a mystery figure who will remain unnamed for now. Given that they are all very passionate, vocal and controversial their encounter can only be heated when they discuss status of Black America today. What will they say? What solutions do they have, for what many of feel is the most troubled times for Black people in America since the 60s? One thing for sure, it will be provocative, and it will be hot as they bring the heat to a discussion that is urgent and desperately needs to happen. By the end of the event, what solutions will arise to resolve issues of police killings, systemic racism, historical bias and so on. Some of the solutions will shock you or maybe not. Welcome to A Heated Discussion.
