Black Culture

The exploration of British society

Black Culture

Description

A breath of fresh air is blowing through London’s theatreland. Elmina’s Kitchen, by Kwame Kwei-Armah, is the first play by a black British writer to grace the stage of the West End for three decades. Despite a brief flowering on the commercial stage in the late 1970s, the work of black playwrights has been largely confined to the world of subsidised theatre.
