“I am incredibly excited for the brilliant team we have assembled to bring this production together – featuring a cast and crew of both Black British and Black American voices in a play that speaks to both continents in a variety of ways. We have all connected in our love for Chadwick’s vision, his words and the theatrical elements of Hip-Hop & Shakespeare that brim within Deep Azure. I believe, with this cast, we have sampled the future of theatre and Hollywood talent in time to come.”
