Black, Theatre Review. Playhouse Theatre Studio, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9.5/10

Cast: Abby Melia, Craig Shanda.

Liverpool Theatre Company 20 Stories High has the knack of producing theatre that grabs you by the thought processes and shakes them out of their modern complacency. Arguably one of the most forthright companies, 20 Stories High make theatre not only relevant but they hold a mirror up to a society that at times allows itself to sink to a depth before seeing one person rise high  above the trench line. This is arguably never more so in their production of Keith Saha’s wonderfully self-incendiary play Black.

Keith Saha And 20 Stories High Return In 2015 With Hard Hitting New Theatre.

Award-winning theatre company 20 Stories High’s latest production, Black, opens at the Liverpool Playhouse Studio on 28th January 2015 and then will tour nationwide.

Written by Keith Saha and Directed by Julia Samuels, Black is a provocative and engaging new show that digs deep at the heart of racial tensions in the U.K. today. With live D.J. soundscapes from Chunky (Riot Jazz /Hoya Hoya) and introducing the raw talent of Abby Melia, Black represents a real situation and puts the spotlight on a real issue.
