LEI-LDN follows 17-year-old Chardaye, uprooted from Leicester to South London, navigating identity, belonging, and racism. Written and performed by Na-keisha Pebody, directed by award-winning Mya Onwugbonu, this acclaimed, witty, and moving production blends spoken word, movement, and comedy — shining light on Britain’s forgotten history of “Brown Babies.”
