Weights
is an extraordinary story extraordinarily told. Poetic, lyrical and
potent, yet most movingly of all: true - and told by its protagonist,
Lynn Manning who, thankfully, lived to tell the tale.
Living
a life with little future, the second of nine children of a "lost"
family in South Central L.A., Manning found himself in a gritty
downtown bar at the age of 27. That night he took a bullet to the head,
a bullet that took his sight. Manning dusted himself down and got on
with rebuilding his life, determined to realise his dreams and overcome
the obstacles in his path, eventually becoming a successful playwright,
a world-class athlete, and a dedicated teacher and volunteer.
His
is a passionate, inspiring dramatic story for which he has received
much critical acclaim, winning 3 NAACP Theatre Awards (including Best
Actor). More importantly it is a performance that makes a difference to
everyone that sees it.
