Theatre Royal Stratford East, London

★★★★ "Excruciatingly funny... a bold exploration of black Britishness" Metro
"A deft portrayal of prejudice" The Observer
Exploring imperialism, cross-racial adoption and cultural appropriation, Eclipse Theatre's "bold, provocative and agonisingly funny" (The Times) new play The Gift is now playing at Theatre Royal Stratford East - have you got your tickets yet?
From the company behind the sell-out production of Black Men Walking, Janice Okoh’s The Gift is inspired by the historical figure of Sarah Forbes Bonetta - a Yoruban princess ‘gifted’ to Queen Victoria.
"The experience of a young black woman in royal circles could hardly be more timely. 170 years before Harry met Meghan, there was Sarah Bonetta" (BBC). Read the full article on the writers breathing life into black British history here.
