How do you know what’s real when you’re stuck in a minstrel show?

Slam poet & playwright Dave Harris has scored a significant hit with Tambo & Bones. A satire about America’s racial history, which also takes a peek into a wildly imaginative vision of the future, the show has not only been hailed a necessary piece of theatre but also ‘unpredictably bonkers’,’clever and prickly’ and every bit ‘as entertaining as it is unnerving’. 

The story starts in the past and follows the fortunes of the initially down-on-their-luck  title characters, a comedy double-act stuck in a minstrel show. But as time moves forward, Tambo & Bones’ fortunes radically change - and so too does the world around them... 

The Thursday performance of the production will be followed by a free-to-attend discussion hosted by theologian, broadcaster & documentary filmmaker Professor Robert Beckford.
