‘I found a king in me and now I love you I found a king in you and now I love me’
Father figures and fashion tips. Lost loves and jollof rice. African empires and illicit sex. Good days and bad days. Six young Black men meet for group therapy, and let their hearts – and imaginations – run wild.
For Black Boys… is located on the threshold of joyful fantasy and brutal reality: a world of music, movement, storytelling and verse – where six men clash and connect in a desperate bid for survival.
"A powerful and deeply moving meditation on Black masculinity and Black life in Britain."
The Guardian Read full review
"What a joyous, sad, beautiful piece it is — muscular, vibrant, deeply tender."
Financial Times
"Beyond beautiful...There is trauma, swagger, laughter, and above all there is love. It’s almost overwhelmingly moving."
The i
"A landmark moment in West End theatre."
The Telegraph
"Every so often, a play comes along that changes the game, flips the script and forever disrupts the theatre landscape."
