Shakespeare may have been the greatest rapper of them all!  Broadway playwright Arje Shaw (who was also an actor in Jackson Rep’s production of 167 Tongues) and Hip Hop artist Devon Glover have created this dynamic and accessible concert featuring Shakespeare's love sonnets set in song enhanced by Devon’s riffs on the themes.  Music by Daniel Lynas.
