This bold play collection, curated from Black British perspectives, showcases a diverse range of LGBTIQ+ experiences. Spanning from the 1980s to 2021, it presents seven radical plays by Black writers, revolutionizing the landscape of British theatre. With an international reach, these plays delve into themes such as same-sex love, sex, homophobia, apartheid, migration, and space travel, resonating with audiences across Africa, the Caribbean, and the Diaspora.

The collection captures the historical breadth and depth of Black British LGBTIQ+ theatre, encompassing a variety of forms, from monologues to musicals, realism to club performances. It serves as a captivating journey through the evolution of Black Queer theatre in Britain, offering readers a profound understanding of its socio-political and historical context.

These rare conversations provide valuable insights into the theatre industry, funding, producing, venues, and the politics of identity, diversity, and the richness of Black British cultures.

By delving into these compelling narratives, readers are invited to explore the complexities of LGBTIQ+ lives, challenge societal norms, and celebrate the vibrant contributions of Black British artists to the world of theatre. This anthology is a testament to the power of storytelling and its ability to shape our understanding of the human experience.
