In this UK premiere of Deep Azure by late Academy Award and BAFTA-nominated actor and writer Chadwick Boseman, experience a powerful story of love, grief and justice.
When her fiancé, Deep, dies at the hands of the police, Azure’s world spirals out of control.
Powered by the spiritual imprint Deep has left on them all, Azure and Deep’s disciples – Roshad and Tone – do their best to find Peace in the wake of the tragedy. However, the Heavenly MCs of Street Knowledge have other plans for them.
Influenced by the poetry of Shakespeare, powered by the pulse of Hip-Hop theatre and inspired by the true events of university Student Prince Jones, Boseman’s 2005 play Deep Azure sets alight the Sam Wanamaker stage with an intimate, cathartic, lyrical Black Epic.
Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu (For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy, New Diorama/Royal Court/Apollo and Pig Heart Boy, Unicorn Theatre/Sheffield Theatres/Children’s Theatre Partnership) makes his Globe directorial debut in the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
