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

I always find if you miss something, it’s always good to read it. I’m currently reading “An Octaroon” by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins. I actually felt inspired to buy it after seeing someone do it so well at an audition. Auditions are always great places to stop people and ask them what pieces are good. - Helena. ________ #anoctaroon #brandenjacobsjenkins #theatre #acting #drama #bame #blackactors #asianactors #plays4poc #plays #orangetree #nationaltheatre #actor

On Saturday, I went off to see Br’er Cotton by Terrence Arvelle Chisholm at @theatre503 . It was interesting to look at the heat of the BLM movement from the prospective of a young black male teenager. How does seeing many people who look like you being murderer by the hands of the system affect you? It shoes how such traumas can breed hate and result into taking matters into your own hands. I would love to hear people’s thoughts on it. - Helena __________ #theatre503 #brercotton #theatre #drama #acting #actor #terrencearvellechisolm #bame #blackplays #blackactor #blackplaywrights

Lyric evolution 2018 is almost here. Starting on the 14th to the 17th of March. Scroll across to see the time table it may be of interest to you. There’s a variety of performances, industry and creative talks and screenings of young filmmakers. Not one to miss. I was there last year and it was one of the first posts I did on Plays4poc. ___________ #plays4poc #lyric #lyrichammersmith #evolution #theatre #bameactors #peopleofcolour #actorsofcolour #london #drama #acting #actor #actorslife #act #lyricevolution #lyricevolutionfestival

If you’re really team #WAKANDAFOREVER then it’s time for you to prove yourself to the general of #DoraMilaje @danaigurira. One of my absolute favourite playswrights, if you see the state of my copy of “In the Continuum” (really good read and great monologues). I also suggest “The Convert” and “Familiar” . . . . . . . . . . . #doramilaje #blackpanther #wakandaforever #theatre #africanplaywrights #plays #plays4poc #danaigurira #inthecontinuum #eclipsed #nikkolesalter #theconvert #familiar #drama #blackactor #blackmonologue #monologues #acting #actorslife
