“Good Black Men & Good Black Women”, a new play that challenges the negative portrayal of black men and women by TV and film will be staged at Kings Cross Centre and Westindian Cultural Centre.

The play which is supported by Westminster Kingsway College students, explores the positive and the reality of the Black British experience.  

The play was written, produced and directed by Ms. Lorna Blackman, the Managing Director of the Big People’s Theatre Company which runs courses in central and north London.

“Every year our plays attract a high percentage of wannabe actors from the Black community. This year Big Peoples Theatre is truly blessed with some of the most gifted and talented actors who have decided to come on board and commit to this production.”

Ms. Blackman said that all the actors made sacrifices such as travelling sometimes from Birmingham, Southampton, changing their jobs and having to re-arrange their domestic commitments in order to prepare the play.

“I am so proud of all of them. My dream and my belief for 2012 is that the play will take off and can be seen on TV where the real Black British experience can be seen by all,” Ms. Blackman said. She confirmed that no funding was raised for this production and thanked ACLC, BB Promotions, and Big Peoples Theatre.
