Twisted Melodies: The Donny Hathaway Story
Co-production with Baltimore Center Stage, Congo Square Theatre Company and Mosaic Theater
A Musical Homage to A Soulful Legend
Written by and starring Kelvin Roston, Jr.
Directed by Derrick Sanders
This powerful one-man show is based on the life of ’70s soul singer and composer Donny Hathaway, perhaps best known for his duets with Roberta Flack. Twisted Melodies is an immersive and crushing play about the brilliant musician’s compelling inner struggle. Torn between the muses that inspire him and the mental illness that torments him, Hathaway evaluates the choices in his life in a gripping performance by Kelvin Roston, Jr.
