Free (No ticket required - First come first served)
2:15PM (Doors open 2pm)
INDOOR: The British Home

Cord Jefferson’s acclaimed directorial debut is a satire around racial stereotypes in literature in this hilarious comedy drama .
Thelonious ‘Monk’ Ellison is a struggling Black novelist, continually flabbergasted by feedback from white editors, repeatedly asking for a ‘Black book’. He’s frustrated by the Black stories he sees routinely published.
Tired of reductive views of Blackness, Monk sets about writing a novel which parodies them. After being shocked to discover that there is interest in publishing the novel, he continues to be floored by the subsequent success amongst critics and audiences.
Refreshments for sale. Donations to the British Home charity welcomed.
In The theatre space near Tesco at Crown Point, 249 and 417 buses stop outside.
