THE BOOK OF LAMBERT 2009/ La Mama /White Horse Theater Company (Artistic Director: Cyndy A. Marion) A play by Leslie Lee Original Incidental Music Score by Joe Gianono
A new work by Obie-winner and Tony-nominated playwright Leslie Lee, directed by Cyndy A. Marion, depicts the lives of several lost souls living in the subterranean depths of an abandoned NYC subway station. Lambert, their leader, a disillusioned young African-American ex-English teacher is writing a prophetic book on life. In an effort to guide and re-focus this lost flock, Lambert unleashes his own identity issues while coming face to face with the demons of his past. There is a religious component as they re-enter the real world and “see the light”.
