Shakespeare from the Block: Julisa Ceasar and King Lahiri
Julisa Ceasar, loosely based on The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare (1599).
Julisa is the head of the PTA in an unnamed neighborhood in the Bronx during the 1990-1991 school year. She does not even have kids and as such, the PTA meetings are held in her building basement while the school looks the other way. Her best friend since childhood, BruTay, does have kids. Newcomers/gentrifiers Cassie and Becky do not see why Julisa should make decisions and convince BruTay and others in the community to overthrow Julisa.
King Lahiri, based loosely on The Tragedy of King Lear by William Shakespeare (1606).
Set in 2012, it centers around Kunal Lahiri, who immigrated from India to Jackson Heights, Queens in 1970, where he and his late wife bought a convenience mart and the apartment above it. In 2012, he wishes to give his real estate to his three grown children, whom he claims is killing him with their selfishness. He wanders off ranting as Hurricane Sandy hit New York City.
