Rather than a trite trifle of banal banter and unending wink-wink chamber-of-commerce references to Cleveland trivia, this play, well directed by Monteze Freeland, is a solid, quite engaging character study of endearing and enduring underdogs.

Regardless of the title, this is not a show about LeBron James. It is as show about two men who through a quirk of fate become friends and as the years go by lend aid to each other because that is what friends do. At times sentimental, at times jarring but at all times believable it is a show worth seeing. Choose your sports gods wisely.

Bottom Line: The 2016 welcome home parade, when over a million Clevelanders filled downtown to celebrate the Cav’s triumphant return from defeating the Golden State Warriors, still lingers in local memories. Joseph’s play reminds us of the joy generated by sharing common values (and victories).

Rajiv Joseph‘s King James portrays different aspects of friendship between Shawn and Matt, covering four key moments of LeBron James’s career as a catalyst. A co-production with City Theatre Company in Pittsburgh, PA, directed by Monteze Freeland, Cleveland Play House’s King James is a locally rooted, thought-provoking and self-reflexive work that would encourage the audience to reassess their “relationship/association” with LeBron and what friendship really means. The answer that the audience gets from the show may vary, but my perception is that one’s friendship can take many shapes and colors, and it would be easier to maintain friendship if there is at least one common activity to engage in.
