Logline

An expressive adaptation by the author of an acclaimed play about the traumatic experiences of black people in Britain and the US.

How should a young black man act when stopped by the police? How patient should a young person be until society changes? How do role models manifest themselves in our everyday lives? An eclectic triptych of sketches, monologues, and readings crafted from polished prose, powerful performances, and atmospheric soundscapes.
