A second play in London has announced theatre 'Black Out' nights despite No10 condemning the performances as "wrong and divisive".
a play which has just opened at Seven Dials Playhouse, has announced that it is holding two Black Out nights on 18th and 27th of March.The show, which stars Mindhunter actress June Carryl, looks at racism in policing in the US and UK.It is following in the footsteps of Slave Play, which has been criticised for introducing performances specifically for an "all-Black identifying audience".Downing Street condemned the concept, claiming it was "wrong and divisive".
Ms Carryl said: "I’m genuinely surprised by the government's comments last week. And I've never understood the issue with Black Out nights. "That someone suddenly takes it personally, that a space isn’t meant to centre them, is precisely the point. It’s like in college, no one ever asked why the football players sat together at meals. Just the Black kids.
