The Blacks

Work:: The Blacks (S01615045550)

The Queen comes to a Command Performance at Theatre Royal Stratford East. But DJ Excalibah and his company of rappers, poets and comedians serve up an entertainment that is nothing like any Royal Variety Show ever seen before! 200 years after the abolition of the slave trade in the UK and 50 since Ghana gained independence from imperial rule, we proudly present one of the most controversial plays ever to hit the stage. Anarchic, provocative, outrageous - The Blacks is as exciting and entertaining as it is damning and challenging.
