GIVIN’ IT UP happens in a whirlwind of time. Shakespeare’s memorable characters appear as a baby lost on the streets of Harlem, an old preacher and his son, a rap-singing panhandler, Black Panthers, a WW II military repair shop foreman, black seamstress, and Southern police with torches. The exiting bear? The mysterious statue? All part of the many surprising twists and turns of the show.
