Sometimes in life the stars are properly aligned and we get lucky. Such was the case with this one-time performance of “County of Kings”. The show has been out of theaters for some time. I wasn’t involved with the performance poetry side of things when it was first out so naturally I didn’t know about it. Once I read the book “County of Kings” and learned more about Lemon Andersen I really wanted to see the show live, but that wasn’t going to happen, the show was over.
Then I saw the listing on Facebook that said “County of Kings” for one night only in Lemon’s hometown of Brooklyn. WHAT WHAT WHAT!!! I can probably say that this purchase now holds the record for quickest online transaction that I have ever performed.
Lemon Andersen performed this special version of the show for the “Beat festival”. This was pretty cool, I had Rock Wilk’s “14?ie=UTF8&qid=1350405556&sr=8-4&keywords=lemon+andersen” target=”blank” rel=”noopener”>DVD for Lemon the Movie which actually follows Lemon throughout the entire process of taking “County of Kings” from a dream to reality. It’s a great documentary that amazingly complements the show.
Lemon is doing a lot of great things, he’s been on many talk shows ranging from NBC to the Spanish networks. His work has been supported by some very notable people, including Russell Simmons and Spike Lee. As friends of Lemon, we wish him continued success and look forward to seeing his upcoming theatrical works!
