Why is an East London theatre hosting a 'Black Out' night?
The Theatre Royal Stratford East is hosting a 'Black-Out' night for one of its 29 performances of the play 'Tambo and Bones'. The purpose is to offer a dedicated performance for black audiences to watch together.
In the words of the organisers - the special show is 鈥渁rranged for black audience members specifically鈥, and while 鈥渘o one is excluded from attending鈥, non-black individuals are asked to 鈥渃onsider attending another performance鈥.
So why have they decided to do this?
