In this episode of “The Adventures of Mystery Green,” Green and Malik have found themselves in a very precarious situation in Wilson, NC. What was supposed to be a relaxing visit to Malik’s grandmother’s house turned into a roller coaster of emotion, turmoil, confusion, and treachery. Before you know it, Green and Malik find themselves investigating the chaos with folks imploring them to determine the source.

This staged reading brings the adventures of your favorite soulful sleuth you just found out about, to life. Playwright Dasan Ahanu blends humor, cleverness, poetics, and soul music, all with the intent of creating a whole vibe. Find out how Green solves complex cases with keen observation, deductive reasoning, and a lot of sarcasm. This play is a Black Poetry Theatre production.
