WHAT SHOULD BE THE FEAR, is a comedic one-man show. It tells the astonishing true story of Ralf Jean-Pierre, a young black man, on his year-long, 4000 mile, one-man street Shakespeare bicycle tour of the United States. You read that right, a bicycle. This journey proves to be a way for Ralf to process the sudden death of his best friend and confront his fears head on. WHAT SHOULD BE THE FEAR story unfolds as a sort of American Odyssey, filled with perilous adventures, diverse locales, and outlandish characters. It features an original Blues-Rap score, text from Shakespeare’s plays, and elements of clown.
WHAT SHOULD BE THE FEAR is written by Jolie Tong and Ralf Jean-Pierre, directed by Jolie Tong and starring Ralf Jean-Pierre. It was last workshopped July 2017 at Gamba Forest Gallery in Brooklyn, NY.
