White Is The New Black

Expect the unexpected when cultures collide in an emotive new theatre show consisting of 2 short plays that explore the grey areas between black and white.

The Last Appointment by Nicola Gardner – Black middle class GP Jo Davis comes face to face with outspoken white Black Lives Matter activist Aretha. First shown at the Sheffield Crucible Theatre in April 2017 as part of their 4x15 event, things get heated and personal as their highly charged clash reveals attitudes & perceptions that confound expectation.

Florence – The fight of Her Life by Maurice Bessman - African asylum seeker Florence is caught up in the government’s rush to rid British shores of immigrants. She faces a demanding test – the final appeal to immigration officer Mrs Lewis.

In a case of human suffering versus bureaucracy, Florence's survival depends on whether what she says enables Mrs Lewis to tick the right boxes. First shown at the Liverpool Everyman Theatre in 2008.
