Rajiv Joseph's King James runs through April 6 at George Street Playhouse

On this episode of The Art of the Story, WBGO's Doug Doyle chats Ryan George, the director of George Street Playhouse's production of King James, and the two stars of the show Blake Morris and Doug Harris.

Pulizter Prize finalist Rajiv Joseph's King James takes a funny and heartfelt look at loyalty, ambition and celebrates the connections that keep us going. Matt and Shawn, two Clevelanders, forge an unlikely connection over their shared passion for the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers and then rising basketball star LeBron James. Spanning 12 years, their friendship is shaped by the triumphs and challenges of both fandom and life itself.

"Matt" is played by Doug Harris.
