Red Velvet

Indu Rabasingham's hit inaugural production in the first year of her stint as artistic director of the Tricycle Theatre returns, with Adrian Lester reprising his award-winning turn as Ira Aldridge, the young black American actor from the Nineteenth century. Lolita Chakrabarti's play prompted her to win the most promising playwright Evening Standard award. This short run at the Tricycle preceeds a transfer to New York, so catch the production while you can.
