The Harder They Come

The season of Suzan-Lori Parks, which has already included a Broadway revival of Topdog/Underdog and a run of Plays for the Plague Year, continues with another Parks project: a golden-anniversary adaptation of Perry Henzell's breakthrough Jamaican film The Harder They Come, perhaps best known today for its classic soundtrack of songs by the movie's star, Jimmy Cliff. Tony Taccone and Sergio Trujillo direct the world premiere at the Public. Natey Jones scales the Cliff role, and the supporting cast includes Jeannette Bayardelle, Jacob Ming-Trent and Meecah.
