Statement of Regret
A new play by Kwame Kwei-Armah Kwaku Mackenzie, founder of a Black policy think tank, hits the bottle after his father’s death. As media interest in the once dynamic Institute fades,
his team grows fractious and then, disastrously, he favours a young Oxford scholar over his own devastated son. When, in a vain attempt to regain influence, he publicly champions division within the Black community, the consequences are shattering. (A line up of stars include: Don Warrington, Oscar James, Trevor Laird, Colin McFarlane, and Ellen Thomas) National Theatre - from 7 November. http://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/Statement%20of%20Regret+28660.twl |
