Hot on the heels of the West End transfer of his newest play, Retrograde, join us for a Q&A with multi-award-winning writer Ryan Calais Cameron.
Since the runaway success of For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When the Hue Gets Too Heavy, Ryan has firmly established himself as one of the most vital voices in contemporary theatre. His work is celebrated for its bold exploration of race, identity and history, weaving stories that are as thought-provoking as they are deeply human.
We'll delve into Ryan’s creative process, learn what inspires his powerful narratives, and explore what shapes his work. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to engage with one of theatre’s most dynamic voices.
