Tambo and Bones
“As entertaining as it is unnerving” – The Stage
“Unique, challenging and oh-so necessary” – The Guardian
Tambo and Bones are stuck in a minstrel show. It’s hard to know what’s real when you’re stuck in a minstrel show. Their escape plan: get out, get rich, get even.
‘A racially charged metatheatrical satire and “rags-to-riches hip-hop odyssey” by slam poet turned playwright Dave Harris.’ (Time Out New York, 30 Best Off Broadway shows to see in Spring 2022)
Join Tambo and Bones on their journey from comedy double-act, to hip-hop superstars, to activists in an America at the epicentre of the global Black Lives Matter movement.
Tambo & Bones laughs through our past, blows the roof off our present and imagines an explosive future for our world and for theatre.
There will be a free post-show discussion on Thu 10 Apr, hosted by Professor Robert Beckford – theologian, broadcaster and documentary film maker.
