BEAUTIFUL "...HIS RESILIENCE HAS JUST BEEN CONSISTANT" Where to start? This play is incredible! It opens with an extremely visual movement piece that pulls the audience in and then gently explodes into a colourful reminder of the beauty and burden of being black and human. Exploring themes of: - Sexuality vs Masculinity - Love - Friendship & Comradery - SA - Role models - Societal pressures And inspired by the 1974 play 'For Coloured Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf', we are essentially taken through a huge therapy session where each character is allowed, in turn to be vulnerable and work through getting to know that he is enough. With cultural & musical references to the 90's, there is so much more to the nostalgia of this play than the trauma's of growing up black in the U.K. . It also delves into the magic of it. To the men that stood on that stage today and stripped themselves bare so we could all be seen, thank you! I laughed, I ugly cried...I have been moved!
