The Death of a Black Man

Alfred Fagon's story of wheeler-dealing on King's Road first premiered at Hampstead Theatre in 1975. Now – after an unfortunate delay due to the events of 2020 – it's back as part of the venue's 'Classics' season, in a production directed by Dawn Walton. It follows friends Shakie and Stumpie as they embark on money-making schemes in the heart of fashionable London, in a sharp satire on post-colonial attitudes and prejudice. Nickcolia King-N'da, Natalie Simpson and Toyin Omari-Kinch star.
