National Theatre / Statement of Regret

Kwame Kwei-Armah's third play for the National
takes a punchy, provocative look at the Black
British experience and the need, or not,
for solidarity.

Listen to the entire serial on BBC Radio4 last saturday. I hope this play makes British/English Black Africans, African Carribbeans & mixed-Race people learn the lessons of divide & conquer. Also, it highlight the serious case of certain members of our community making a good living off our pain & misery i.e the race industry of Think Tanks chancers on the make (Hi Lee Jasper).

I saw this last night and enjoyed it immensely. It was not without its faults, better direction, some of the casting was not correct and some of the issues were not fully explored to a satisfactory resolution BUT Don Warrington's character and performance ultimately held things together. If anyone saw 'shoot the messenger' on BBC, should see this for a far superior take on the 'state of the black community'

Stimulating, provocotive and the posting is much appreciated. Thank you
