Eddie George seems to have something great in store for us coming this year, a 1-man Hip Hop play about his life.
According to TMZ:
George has been focused on the theater ever since he hung up his cleats in 2004 — and says he found it therapeutic to help cope with the adjustment into his post football life.
But after acting in several productions, the Heisman Trophy winner decided it’s time to write his own play … and has been hard at work for the past 2 to 3 years.
“It starts with my dream of playing football … and I use anecdotes about my father, mother, coaches and other important people in my life to tell my story.”
George notes, “I wove in some hip hop to help chronologically tell the story … and some Shakespeare-style storytelling to go along with the hip hop.”
Well… he’s been busy. Im actually intrigued to see how this pans out. Eddie George is said to still be looking for a director, so any of you out there who’s intrigued with a Hip Hop Shakespeare play… Eddie is your man.
Lets hope this at least turns out like Martin’s version.
