Description
Not Black and White
Three Black playwrights look at the state of Britain at the end of the first decade of the 21st century
- Category B by Roy Williams
- Seize the Day by Kwame Kwei-Armah
- Detaining Justice by Bola Agbaje
Seize The Day:
“The symbolism of having a Black mayor! A city of 45% colour, should have a mayor of colour don’t you think?”
Jeremy Charles has got the face to represent it – a well-spoken, good-looking Londoner, with an appetite for change: yes he can! He’s sold his pitch on reality TV, but can he be the real people’s candidate?
Kwame Kwei-Armah’s play LET THERE BE LOVE was a huge hit at the Tricycle last year, playing for two runs in February and August. His three plays ELMINA’S KITCHEN, FIX UP and STATEMENT OF REGRET were all produced at the National Theatre, and ELMINA’S KITCHEN later transferred to the West End.
