About

"sing a black girl's song / bring her out / to know herself / to know you”

A landmark of theatre. Long overdue in London.

Stories of love and violence, joy and survival - and what it feels like to come out the other side.

Ntozake Shange's choreopoem returns - fifty years on from its first performance - in a new production, directed by Diane Page, with original music by Jammz.

Grief becomes chant. Movement becomes prayer. Together, they reach for something beyond.

Fifty years on. Still enuf.

This production is generously supported by Cockayne - Grants for the Arts and London Community Foundation.
With special thanks to our season circle, Carolyn Ward, Fiona Clements, Georgia Oetker, and those who wish to remain anonymous. For information on joining our circle, email samantha@theyardtheatre.co.uk.
