Blues for an Alabama Sky (2023x7)

:

New York, 1930. Following a decade of creative explosion, the Harlem Renaissance is starting to feel the bite of the Great Depression. In the face of hardship and dwindling opportunity, Angel and her friends battle to keep their artistic dreams alive - but when Angel falls for a stranger from Alabama, their romance forces the group to make good on their ambitions, or give in to the reality of the time. Lynette Linton directs a startling revival of this extraordinary play by Pearl Cleage. Samira Wiley makes her UK stage debut alongside a cast that includes Ronkẹ Adékoluẹjo, Osy Ikhile, Sule Rimi, and Giles Terera. Filmed live at the National Theatre's Lyttelton Theatre in 2022.
