.King James in Mountain View

The title might bring to mind the British ruler who commissioned a new translation of the Bible, but Rajiv Joseph’s comic play is instead about the friendship of two men formed upon a shared appreciation of basketball star LeBron James. Professional sports inform the story’s background, but ultimately, King James explores the bonds of fellowship and the power of sports to bring people together. The play is directed by Giovanna Sardelli, artistic director of TheatreWorks Silicon Valley. Sardelli has a gift for staging plays with well-drawn characters; she also directed last year’s cheeky Mrs. Christie. King James runs through Nov. 3.
