GOD'S PROPERTY
Written by Arinze Kene Directed by Michael Buffong
Cast: Kingsley Ben-Adir (Chima), Ash Hunter (Onochie), Bradley Gardner (Liam), Ria Zmitrowicz (Holly)
It's 1982. London is restless, gripped by spiraling unemployment and inner city riots. Ska beats dominate the airwaves and in a flat in Deptford, South London, two mixed race brothers are re-united.
Chima returns home to find that Onochie is a skinhead who choses to no longer be black. But Chima is not welcome in the area and a hostile community has been alerted to his presence. He's been blamed for the death of a white girl and locals want to deliver their own rough justice.
Onochie has a tough decision to make. Does he side with the community he has tried to belong to? Or stand with the brother he doesn't know?

Waiting for Godot is a funny and poetic masterpiece, described as one of the most significant English language plays of the 20th century.
On a bare road with a single tree two men, Vladimir and Estragon, wait. They are waiting hopefully, helplessly and haplessly for the one who never comes. They are waiting for Godot.
Over two days, they argue, get bored, clown around, reminisce, sing, exchange hats and contemplate suicide. Brilliantly subtle the play gently and intelligently speaks about hardship, friendship and what it is to be human.
Cast: Fisayo Akinade (The Boy), Guy Burgess (Lucky), Cornell S John (Pozzo), Jeffery Kissoon (Vladmimir) and Patrick Robinson (Estragon).

Talawa Theatre Company presents THE COLORED MUSEUM at the Victoria and Albert Museum 15 - 23 October, 2011
The Colored Museum has delighted and discomforted audiences since it was first performed in America in 1986.
Taking place in an imagined cultural museum, 11 living exhibits explore African-American identity in a seriously funny exhibition of stereotypes.
Through characters like the pert and ever-smiling Miss Pat, airline hostess for Celebrity Slaveship, Wolfe confronts history and clichés with gutsy humour.
"Uncompromising wit....fearless humour....high sophistication."
The New York Times
The Colored Museum
Written by George C. Wolfe. Directed by Don Warrington.
