Why is an East London theatre hosting a 'Black Out' night?
The Theatre Royal Stratford East is hosting a 'Black-Out' night for one of its 29 performances of the play 'Tambo and Bones'. The purpose is to offer a dedicated performance for black audiences to watch together.
In the words of the organisers - the special show is 鈥渁rranged for black audience members specifically鈥, and while 鈥渘o one is excluded from attending鈥, non-black individuals are asked to 鈥渃onsider attending another performance鈥.
So why have they decided to do this?
麻豆社 Radio London's Eddie Nestor has been speaking to the Nadia Fall, The Artistic Director of the Theatre Royal Stratford East about the idea behind it.
