Production details

This is the extraordinary story of an unlikely hero, brought to life by actor and author Paterson Joseph, who performs an enthralling account of one man's remarkable life. Part-biography and part-dramatized readings from Paterson's acclaimed novel 'The Secret Diaries of Charles Ignatius Sancho', Sancho & Me is an unmissable evening of storytelling with themes intersecting with Paterson's own story of being Black and British. This is a vital story connecting a Black Life in the transatlantic world from nearly three hundred years ago with a modern-day Black Life in today's UK.
