Shakespeare’s Globe has announced that Deep Azure has been extended by three weeks and will now run until 2 May 2026 in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
Written by the late Academy Award-nominated actor and writer Chadwick Boseman, the production is directed by award-winning theatre maker Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu in his Globe directorial debut.
Praised by critics as visionary, important and beautifully acted, Deep Azure weaves a powerful story of love, grief and justice inspired by the true events surrounding university student Prince Jones, infused with Shakespearean lyricism and the pulse of Hip-Hop Theatre.
The extension follows enthusiastic audience responses and strong demand for tickets.
Director Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu said, “I am so thrilled! The responses to this production so far have been so engaging and powerful. Deep Azure’s audiences have been vocal and immersed in our story and I am so excited to continue doing that for a little longer.”
Globe Artistic Director Michelle Terry added, “Art makes it bearable to ask some of the hardest questions and face some of the most painful issues. This play, this production, this company, and this moment have alchemised to make a profound and necessary work of art. I am so pleased and so proud that more people have the chance to experience it. It’s really important.”
The cast includes Ryn Alleyne, Maxwell Chartey, Elijah Cook, Jayden Elijah, Aminita Francis, Selina Jones, Justice Ritchie, Imani Yahshua, Aaron Alexander, Nadine Rose Johnson, Khai Shaw and Khalil Madovi.
