HYPE MAN: A BREAK BEAT PLAY The issues of racial injustice at the playâs heart remain wrenchingly current, adding to the impact of this superb new streaming version of Idris Goodwinâs play. Directed with imaginative artistry by John Oluwole ADEkoje and Shawn LaCount, âHype Manâ is powered by knockout performances from the original cast of Kadahj Bennett, Rachel Cognata, and Michael Knowlton as members of a rising hip-hop trio rocked by the police shooting of an unarmed Black youth.
