The Jamaican cult classic film "The Harder They Come" is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The story follows Ivan, a singer who leaves his hometown to try to make it as an artist in Kingston. He soon discovers that the music business is not what he thought. Pulitzer-prize winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks wrote the book for a new musical adaptation of the film, which opens tomorrow at Newman Theater. She joins us to talk about "The Harder They Come," and preview her upcoming project, "Plays for the Plague Year," which opens on April 5.
