6 – 10 May
A man in a battle with his identity, and on a journey through the depths of Black-British culture, class, and belonging. What happens if you’re not black enough for the ends, but too black for the rest of the world?
Tones combining gritty underground sounds of Hip-Hop, Grime, Drill and the melodrama of Opera, to present a piece of gig theatre like no other, as Jerome, aka The Professor, navigates his way through a treacherous path to self-discovery.
Presented by award-winning Wound Up Theatre, this story offers a reflection on modern Britain, both in the form that it takes and the themes that it explores. It delves into the societal pressures concerning race, class, and identity that shape Jerome’s experiences and looks at the consequences that ensue as a result. Underscored with an original soundtrack from producer 3D Williams combining hip-hop and opera, Tones is a truly unique piece of gig-theatre.
