Only Two Weeks Left to See TROUBLE IN MIND At Print Room At The Coronet

Audiences have just two weeks left to see the unanimously acclaimed and multi-award nominated production of Alice Childress' Trouble in Mind. Directed by Laurence Boswell and starring Olivier Award-nominated Tanya Moodie, the production will end its strictly limited run at London's Print Room at the Coronet on Saturday 14 October. Met with critical and public acclaim during its run at the Ustinov Studio, Theatre Royal Bath in 2016, Trouble in Mind transferred to the Notting Hill venue on 14th September 2017 to be performed in London for the first time in over 20 years.

Written by trailblazing African-American playwright Alice Childress, the production tells the story of an theatre company in rehearsal for a "progressive" Broadway production. Interspersed with knowing humour and richly drawn characters, Trouble in Mind smartly satirises the white dominated theatre scene of the 1950s. Childress's Trouble in Mind was the first play to by a black woman to receive an Obie Award and to be professionally produced in New York.

The full cast includes; Tanya Moodie, Jonathan Slinger, Andrew Alexander, Daisy Boulton, EwArt James Walters, Faith Alabi, Geoff Leesley, Ncuti Gatwa and Pip Donaghy.

Wiletta Mayer is a talented African-American actress who has spent a lifetime building a career in the theatre. Now she's on Broadway, rehearsing 'Chaos in Belleville', an anti-lynching play with a white director. As rehearsals progress, Wiletta finds it increasingly difficult to relate to the part she is playing. Will she be able to overcome her misgivings and will the show go on?
