Company One's 'Hype Man' Asks Who Should Speak Out Against Injustice

Company One Theatre in Boston has dedicated their 19th season to the works of living, black male playwrights. The first is 'Hype Man: a break beat play' by playwright and poet Idris Goodwin, which runs through February 24.

"Hype Man: a break beat play" tackles the story of a rap trio confronted with the news of another shooting of unarmed black teenager by police officers, which fractures the group and raises questions of race, activism and injustice.
