A bold play collection representing Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Intersex and Queer (LGBTIQ+) experiences, from Black British perspectives, this anthology contains seven radical plays by Black writers that change the face of theatre in Britain. With an international reach connecting Africa, the Caribbean and the Diaspora, these plays address themes including same-sex love, sex, homophobia, apartheid, migration and space travel. The collection captures the historical scope and range of Black British LGBTIQ+ theatre, from the 1980s to 2021. Including a range of forms, from monologue to musicals, realist drama to club-performance, readers will journey through the development of Black Queer theatre in Britain. Through a helpful critical introduction, this book provides important socio-political and historical context, highlighting and illuminating key themes in the plays. Each play is preceded by an intergenerational 'in-conversation' piece between two Black British LGBTIQ+ artists and writers who will talk about their own work in relation to the play, looking back at the history and on into the future. Through these rare conversations with highly acclaimed award-winning practitioners, readers will also gain an insight into the theatre industry, funding, producing, venues as well as the politics of identity, the diversity of LGBTIQ+ lives and the richness of Black British cultures.
Winner of Best Writer at The Stage Debut Awards 2020 That's actually what me and Leah came here to talk to you about. Look- there's no easy way of saying this, but... Leah and I are getting married. The dresses are chosen, the venue's been booked and the RSVPs are flooding in. But with her wedding to Leah drawing nearer, Tara's future is thrown into jeopardy when her Nigerian parents refuse to attend. This kind of love is unheard of, they say. It's not African. High above London, suspended between the stars, three of Tara's ancestors are jolted from their eternal rest. Stubborn and opinionated, they keep watch as family secrets are spilled and the rift widens between Tara and her parents. Can these representatives of generations passed keep the family together? And will Tara's decision ever get their blessing? An epic family drama played out between the heavens and earth, The High Table is the hilarious and heart-breaking debut play from Temi Wilkey.
Chilling psychological suspense with “exceptional punch” from the Edgar Award–winning author of The Dark Room (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). It seems like a respectable British home, occupied by the Songolis, an upstanding family of African immigrants. But hidden within the cellar is Muna—a teenage girl who cooks for them, cleans for them, endures brutal abuse from them . . . and is powerless to escape. Then one day, the Songolis’ ten-year-old son fails to come home from school, and Scotland Yard arrives at the house to investigate. While they look into the boy’s disappearance, Muna must play the role of beloved daughter. She suddenly has a real bedroom, with sunlight, and real clothing to wear. But she must continue to keep quiet—and hide the fact that she has learned how to speak English. Even as the police are watching, her secret life of enslavement goes on. But Muna is hatching a plan—and her acts of rebellion and revenge will be more terrifying than this family could have imagined—in this dark, twisting tale that represents “contemporary crime writing at its absolute peak” (Val McDermid).
Osaru returns to Nigeria after a near disastrous sojourn to America, determined to salvage some damaged relationships and a clean break from others.

Whom do you tell? Who would have believed it? Sometimes you see a priest, pastor, or imam being led off in handcuffs because he molested children, having been found fornicating and committing adultery, while his superiors are concerned with the church’s image or the mosque’s reputation and have a nonchalant attitude towards the victims crying out for help. It wouldn’t be funny to see the chief executive officer of one of the world’s biggest corporations being sentenced to life imprisonment for embezzlement, leaving millions of employees without their jobs, their homes, or their life savings. What about politicians who sell their votes for personal gain, betraying the trust of the masses and callously disregarding the needs of those they promised to care for? They are stealing in the name of a party platform. I wouldn’t be surprised to see nurses, doctors, managers, and supervisors from hospitals, nursing homes, care agencies, and residential homes being sentenced to life imprisonment, turning mad, and becoming killers of mental health patients because of injustices, bad treatment, and mischievousness. How much do managers give to those in positions below them, maltreating them for no reason? The managers refuse to train the junior employees because the former don’t want the latter to attain a managerial level. How interesting it will be to hear that every story we read in the newspapers today is as a result of phone hacking. We think we are reading nice stories, but some people’s personal information has been leaked in a way that hurts them and their precious families. This happens all over the world. Then it is reported in the world news as if it were good news. What about police? They are harbouring criminals and collecting bribes to pervert the course of justice, refusing to do certain investigations. Doctors are not left out. Millions of patients trust doctors to heal them, but then the doctors turn into assassins. What about civil servants working in the government? They promised to do the job, but they are not doing it. Hey, my friend, what about the teachers who are to teach and instil knowledge in young people so they can become good leaders in future? They eventually turn into businessmen and businesswomen, refusing to let their students pass their examinations, following young women around and harassing them, deceiving them with the little money they get to feed their families at home because they want to see their knickers! One of the most lucrative fields in the world to work in today is the travel industry, but it has been polluted beyond a doubt. To secure a booking or get a ticket to travel abroad to the country of your choice for holiday, you might end up paying extra fares or paying through the back door. Oh, dear God, have mercy; I know you are watching our movements! People are killing in the name of religion, which is another escalating news story. Around the world today, we can see a lots of groups with different names springing up, such as ISIS, Boko Haram, and al-Qaeda. These and many others think they are seeking the face of the almighty God, but this is a lie. They are committing crimes—killing, stealing, kidnapping—in the name of God. God hasn’t sent you to kill but to love one another and bring the lost soul to his marvellous life!
