Deep Azure
21 New Globe Way, London, SE1 9DT
Description
In this "relentlessly imaginative" UK premiere (★★★★ The Stage), the late Academy Award and BAFTA-nominated actor and writer Chadwick Boseman reveals the roots of his artistry — shaped by Shakespeare and driven by the rhythms of Hip-Hop.
When her fiancé, Deep, is killed by the police, Azure’s world falls apart. As grief spirals, and her eating disorder tightens its grip, Azure searches for control in a world that no longer makes sense. With Deep’s friends Roshad and Tone beside her — and the Heavenly MCs of Street Knowledge watching — she fights to survive the aftermath.
Staged in the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, and directed by Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu (For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy, New Diorama/Royal Court/Apollo) in his Globe debut, this is a powerful meeting of Black American and Black British experience in the place where language has always mattered most.
