Charles Ignatius Sancho was born on a slave ship on the Atlantic Ocean in 1729, yet he became a writer, composer, shopkeeper and respected 'man of letters' in 18th century London becoming the first man of African Heritage to vote in Britain. 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.
