⭐ BLACK TO THE FUTURE – WORLD PREMIERE ANNOUNCED FOR NEW WIMBLEDON THEATRE ⭐
The world premiere of Black To The Future has been announced for New Wimbledon Theatre.
Announced as part of their 2023 Premieres season this autumn, New Wimbledon Theatre will premiere three new productions in their studio space including, the full version of monodrama Black to the Future, initially developed as part of a Lyric Hammersmith emerging writers programme in 2019 and, two brand spanking new musicals.
This is the third annual, three-show Premieres season presented by the venue, which aims
to provide a starting point for, and to help facilitate companies in, fully staging their work for the first time. Selected from an overwhelming number of submissions, New Wimbledon Theatre are thrilled to present their first musicals as part of the season, as well as their first conceptual monodrama.
Black to the Future written by emerging writer Tristan Waterson, who has just been appearing in Roy Williams’ new play produced by Attic Theatre Company All Roads, which is playing at the Studio at New Wimbledon Theatre this week (14th – 18th March).
The four youngest people to take their GCSEs in the UK are all black, but where are all the stories that highlight black academic excellence?
Black to The Future is a monodrama that follows Joseph, an 18-year- old from an estate in East London. He has just been offered a place to study physics at Oxford, but while he celebrates, a boy from his estate has just been killed and protests are brewing. Should he stay or should he go?
Told through the multi-verse, Black to The Future explores what it means to be multifaceted as a young black person in London, while giving moments of joy, tension, and deep thinking.
Produced by Piece of Cake Productions.
Black to the Future will play the Studio at New Wimbledon Theatre, running from 19th – 28th October 2023, with tickets on sale now.
