Deep Azure - Globe description
In this UK premiere of Deep Azure by late Academy Award and BAFTA-nominated actor and writer Chadwick Boseman, experience a powerful story of love, grief and justice.
When her fiancé, Deep, is killed by the police, Azure’s world spirals out of control.
Powered by the spiritual imprint Deep has left on them all, Azure and Deep’s friends – Roshad and Tone – do their best to find peace in the wake of the tragedy. However, the Heavenly MCs of Street Knowledge have other plans for them.
Inspired by the true events of university student Prince Jones, influenced by the poetry of Shakespeare and powered by the pulse of Hip-Hop theatre, Boseman’s cathartic and lyrical epic unfolds in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu (For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy, New Diorama/Royal Court/Apollo and Pig Heart Boy, Unicorn Theatre/Sheffield Theatres/Children’s Theatre Partnership) makes his Globe directorial debut.
