Pigeon English
The West End premiere of Pigeon English, Stephen Kelman’s moving 2011 Man Booker prize shortlisted novel has been adapted for stage for by award-winning playwright and Young VicGenesis Fellow Gbolahan Obisesan (Off the Page microplay, How Nigeria Became).
The production follows 11-year-old Ghanaian school boy Harri who lives on an inner city London council estate. Inspired by one of the most powerful events in modern history, the tragic killing of Damilola Taylor, the production will look at the sometimes harsh reality of adulthood in modern day Britain.
Directed by NYT Associate Director Anna Niland, Pigeon English was co-commissioned by NYT and Bristol Old Vic in 2013 and premiered at Bristol Old Vic before a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival.
