The Fabric Of A Man is the play that earned Talbert his first theatrical award. dubbing him Best Playwright of 2001 . Other winners included. the dastardly film and television actor. Clifton Powell ( Never Die Alone. Next Friday. Dead Presidents ) who won for Best Lead Actor for his role as Blair Godfrey. Comedian Buddy Lewis ( Comic View Live. Def Comedy Jam ) also took home the prize of Best Supporting Actor for his hilarious portrayal of Uncle Ray.

More than just a critically acclaimed production. The Fabric Of A Man is loved by hundreds of thousands of female fans for its steamy shower scene. Talbert laughingly recalls. 'Folks thought I was crazy when I told them there was a shower scene in the play. But once they saw it in the context of the show. and more importantly. once they saw it was Soul Foods star Darrin DeWitt Henson that was in the shower - it was pandemonium all over the theatre. Church hats were waving. fans were swaying. and sistahs stood on the back of their seats high-fiving each other!' Not to be overlooked is a driving mix of inspirational love songs written by gospel songwriter/producer Brent Jones. Brents songs were magically brought to life by an incredible group of singers backed by a 9-piece orchestra conducted by musical director/producer Robbie Lewis and his band 'The Movement'.Filmed in front of a live audience and recorded in Dolby 5.1 digital surround sound. this electrifying production is inspirational theater at its best! For those that might have missed it. you can now relive the music. the message. and the magic of one of the hottest plays to ever hit the stage!
