DIRECTION (MARCH 2024)

KALUNGI SSEBANDEKE’s play explores the life of pioneering Black historical figure BILL RICHMOND (1763—1829), who reached notoriety for his success as the ‘world’s first Black boxing superstar’. Kalungi will shed light on RICHMOND’s extraordinary life and its impact. Set in a prison, BLACK TERROR introduces us to TERESA, a recent drama school graduate leading acting workshops for prisoners. TERESA is convinced by an introverted prisoner to tell the story of BILL RICHMOND, but as the story unravels, history and the present collide, causing both worlds to confront their demons.
