'The XIXth (The Nineteenth)' at The Old Globe is about the iconic protest of two Black American sprinters at the 1968 Olympic Games. Playwright Kemp Powers also co-wrote Pixar's 'Soul' and co-directed the forthcoming 'Spider-Verse' sequels.
The 19th Olympic Games were 55 years ago, and Powers wanted the play to consider how history continues to unfold.
Despite Powers' success on the big screen, he still knew he wanted to tell this story as a stage play. When asked about Spider-Man, Powers said he learned early on about the"responsibility" he has to the massive fanbase, but ultimately, he came to the story and the character of Miles Morales as a fan.
