First look rehearsal images are released for Danny Lee Wynter’s new play BLACK SUPERHERO, directed by Co-Artistic Director Designate of the RSC Daniel Evans.

Ben Allen, Dyllón Burnside, Dominic Holmes, Eloka Ivo, Danny Lee Wynter, Ako Mitchel and Rochenda Sandall will perform in the production which will run at the Royal Court Jerwood Theatre Downstairs from Tuesday 14 March to Saturday 29 April 2023, with press night on Tuesday 21 March 2023, 7pm.

Emmy Award-winner Dyllón Burnside, star of Netflix’s Pose and Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, will make his London debut as the eponymous black superhero of Lee Wynter’s play.

       

This debut play by Danny Lee Wynter, known for his Olivier Award-nominated acting career, is a brutal, unflinching and funny portrait of one man’s life spiraling out of control, in an age where our idols are Kings and our superheroes Gods. Daniel Evans’ direction sees the culmination of a 20-year working relationship between himself and Danny Lee Wynter, and his first time directing for the Royal Court Theatre.
