Tangle has announced the cast and creative team for its brand-new African-inspired adaptation of Julius Caesar – a high-energy production that drives through the power struggles and friendship betrayal at the heart of Shakespeare's greatest thriller.  

In every mission it sets itself upon, this play succeeds. It’s a tight hug to the communities that need it, it’s vital education to those who want to learn, it’s a wake-up call to those who are ignorant, and it’s an angry, triumphant demand for action. Zakiyyah Deen is a magnetic performer, her talent pulsates through the space.

Belgrade Theatre Coventry has announced the cast for their new in-house produced show, Revealed, premiering at The Belgrade from Friday 18 October and running until Saturday 2 November, with a press night on Tuesday 22 October.

Magical realism is hard to come by in the theatre. Playwright Tife Kusoro dips into urban legends and creepypasta to deliver a fascinating coming-of-age piece. With stunning direction by Monique Touko, G is a brilliant supernatural cautionary tale - a description that’s, admittedly, not entirely accurate nor comprehensive of everything the play is. Kusoro infuses her work with surrealism and harsh socio-political critique, pure banter and sheer terror. It’s young and fresh and ingenuously subversive. It’s a comic thriller, but also an unsettling allegory and a story about the power of friendship and loyalty. Kusoro is definitely onto something.

Tyrell Williams’ tale of football, friendship, and societal shift has smashed records and garnered outstanding feedback across the board. More than a couple awards and the surprising surge in sports-themed plays we’ve had have put it back on the map for another limited run. Could this playwriting debut be eyeing a West End transfer at this point? It’s already a success, it might as well become a commercial hit too.
