If there is one thing you’re going to do between now and the 21st July is get on to the @roundhouseldn website and get yourself a ticket to see HIVE CITY LEGACY. Even if you only see one thing this year, make it THIS! You will get your best life served to you on a platter, it’s about time we celebrated and embraced our black women of ALL shades we are the same but different but still valid in those differences. So much love on stage, I’m sure the rehearsal process was very liberating to these women but it also liberated US as audience members. Anyone want to watch it with me again? What are we not? WE ARE NOT A FETISH! _________ #hivecity #activate #pollinate #femme #blackfemme #plays4poc #blackwomen #afrowomen #blackactors #blckactresses #roundhouseldn #roundhouse #theatre #actorslife #acting #beesting #drama #activist #fetish @rowdyyami @roundhouseldn @dorcaslustevens @travelling_feather @hotbrownhoney

Here’s a show for you! The @almeida_theatre Young company will be performing Cacophony in two weeks time. The play tells the story of a young woman’s rise to fame after speaking up at a protest outside a controversial rape trial. Weaving a complex web of fame and shame, Cacophony explores the power social media has to liberate brave new voices and, just as quickly, bring them crashing to earth. Inspired by the ideas in Jon Ronson’s book, 'So You Think You’ve Been Publicly Shamed'. Our founder @hnmorais will also be performing there. ______________ #plays4poc #almeidatheatre #theatre #youngcompany #youngactors #actor #actress #acting #drama #plays #publicshaming #jonronson #aoyouthinkyouvebeenpubliclyshamed #actorsofcolour #privilidge #london #londontheatre

I haven’t been to the theatre in a very long time for various reasons. But I am glad to have had a break and come back to this. @opia_theatre “The Girl with Glitter in her eye”. This was one of the most cohesive pieces of theatre I’ve seen, beautifully brought to life by the incredible people on stage. Extremely magnificent poetic writing. I can best describe it as plasticine, it moulded into various shapes so sharply and timely, everything just made sense. Such meaningful messages as well, this is what inclusivity looks like. The lived experiences from people in LGBTQ community, shared stories of pain and triumph that rang deep. It was finished nicely with original music from the incredible trust that is @eloimusic. I urge everyone to take follow @opia_theatre and their work. Massive congratulations to the creatives who brought this to life @masha.kevinovna @arancherkez10 @benramsden _______________ #plays4poc #plays4lgbtq #lgbtq #metoo #metoomovement #thegirlwithglitterinhereye #opiatheatrecollective #theatremaking #poet #poetry #writing #femalethespian #thespian #theatre #drama #acting #lyrichammersmith #openmicnight

Last week I went to see #misty at the @bushtheatre with @chisara_ I’m still reminiscing. I’m still gobsmacked at the level of performance energy, the clever story telling, the use of music. I even got tickets to see it again with my younger cousin, it’s one NOT to miss. I would definitely urge everyone to buy copy. Arinze had such a majestic presence on stage. The methods of story telling went above an beyond the usual conventions. - @hnmorais Well done @beholdarinze “what is a “black play”?” ———— #arinzekene #theatre #acting #actors #plays4poc #plays #bame #london #blackplay drama acting #bushtheatre #dramaschool #monologues

Hey! 👋🏾 This is Yana, one of two new contributors to Plays4Poc. Actress and writer, with a big love for theatre! I’m super excited to being joining Plays4Poc so thought I’d share this play that many of you may be familiar with. Josephine and I, by Cush Jumbo changed my outlook on theatre completely. I watched it four years ago, a young one about to graduate from drama school. Whilst studying I spent a lot of time trying to please, working on plays I didn’t like simply to get good grades and it felt jarring as hell. The fun was leaving me. Watching Cush reminded me of exactly why I chose this profession, it frees us to explore stories of people gone before us and the possibilities of what could be. In my opinion, there’s nothing better than that! Yana @iamyana_p xx
