Some people strive for riches beyond the point of avarice, others for power, control, influence, or even to impress; and yet the greatest authority on human existence is the abundance of tales, the intensity of stories that come flowing out of the imagination from one mind; a million pounds may buy your dreams, but it is the power and inspiration that colour life and give it meaning that wields the privilege of being human.

Inua Ellams’ Black T-Shirt Collection is one of those rare moments of theatre where one person carries an entire production by himself and the result is nothing short of absolutely stunning.

As part of the Unity Theatre’s season of plays with Fuelfest, Inua Ellam’s play took the audience into realm of private enterprise and the shocking aftermath when a company that started with so many good intentions unravels and the people behind it see the world for its true, cruel, profit-making and inhumane ways.
