About this Event
ALWIN BULLY'S McBEE- THE AMERICAN PREMIERE STAGED READING PRODUCTION
A Husband. A Wife. A Prophecy. A M**der.
Election night on a Caribbean island. Politician Allan McBee is returning from the polls when he encounters three rastafarians who predict the unthinkable- that McBee is destined to become Prime Minister of the nation. When he shares the prophecy with his ambitious wife and fellow politician Alice, she immediately envisions a future for them beyond McBee’s wildest dreams- and begins to forge the bloody plan to make it all a reality. But in a world where nothing is quite what it seems and forces of darkness often hide behind masks of virtue, the choices the McBees make may come at a price far too high to pay…
Broadway World Award winner David Heron produces and directs The American Premiere Staged Reading Presentation of Alwin Bully’s powerful tale of love, loss and ambition as a ONE NIGHT ONLY production at the renowned Jamaica Performing Arts Center in Jamaica, Queens. An exclusive Caribbean American Heritage Month cultural event, McBee features a stellar cast of accomplished actors from stage and screen, lead by Luke Forbes ( Amazon Prime's Harlem), bringing to life a story for the ages- and a theatrical experience to remember.
