Black Men Walking

Description

A compelling, surprising new show that turns a spotlight onto Britain's missing histories. Dedicated to the Black Men's Walking Group. Thomas, Matthew and Richard walk. They walk the first Saturday of every month. Walking and talking. But this walk... Maybe they should have cancelled, but they needed the walk today. Out in the Peaks, they find themselves forced to walk backwards through two thousand years before they can move forwards.

Testament is a rapper, human beatboxer and theatre-maker currently based in West Yorkshire. Testament is a supported artist of The Royal Exchange, Manchester.

Mixing poetry and politics, this is a stirring piece that suggests there is no situation that cannot be changed * Guardian * ...this is an original and penetrating piece * Financial Times * Powerful, political, lyrical... Testament's writing is linguistically dazzling, full of punchy humour and poetic charm * The Stage * As poetic as it is potent * WhatsOnStage *
