Brooklyn’s Mahogany L. Browne—a prolific writer, advocate for public art, and Lincoln Center’s inaugural poet-in-residence—hosts LYRICS FROM LOCKDOWN as part of her Seen, Sound, Scribe series, now in its third season. LYRICS FROM LOCKDOWN tells two unbelievable true stories of wrongful incarceration, through the lens of a dysfunctional Caribbean immigrant family in Brooklyn. Fusing theater, comedy, spoken word poetry, Hip-Hop, blues, and calypso performed with the accompaniment of a live band and video DJ, this one-man show brings 40 characters to life. A tale of two brothers who could have been each other in a parallel universe, theater pioneer Anna Deavere Smith describes every moment of this tour de force as “a thing of beauty.”
