“sing a black girl’s song / bring her out / to know herself / to know you”
A landmark of theatre. Long overdue in London.
Stories of love and violence, joy and survival – and what it feels like to come out the other side.
Ntozake Shange’s choreopoem returns – fifty years on from its first performance – in a new production, directed by Diane Page, with original music by Jammz.
Grief becomes chant. Movement becomes prayer. Together, they reach for something beyond.
Fifty years on. Still enuf.
A season of events runs alongside the production:
- Writers’ Night on 10 September, a post-show conversation with writers from theatre, film, TV and poetry on Ntozake Shange’s influence on the canon, included with a ticket.
- A club night curated by Jammz on 11 September, tickets on sale separately.
- Black Out Night: Femme on 17 September.
- Diane Page in conversation with Bernardine Evaristo on 24 September, included with a ticket.
- Film Club on 25 September, a programme of short films curated around the production, tickets on sale separately.
