Description:
To pay homage to Dr. Nina Simone, Lady Ode', an emerging playwright, wrote an original work entitled "Nina Simone: In Her Own Words". The play is a musical/theatrical production. It depicts the life of Nina Simone, through a series of interviews and intimate conversations with her close and personal friends including, Langston Hughes, Nikki Giovanni, Miriam Makeba, and James Baldwin. The play leans heavily on the narrative elements of Nina's story, yet blends some of Nina's greatest songs. It will be an adventure as we see the good, the bad, and the truly unyielding presence of this great woman.
