Tambo and Bones
Winner of 2019 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting and UK Theatre Awards.
Tambo and Bones are stuck in a minstrel show.
It’s hard to know what’s real when you’re stuck in a minstrel show.
Their escape plan: get out, get rich, get even.
In this exhilarating, funny and provocative satire, Tambo & Bones journey from comedy double-act, to hip-hop superstars, to activists in a future America, contending with the alarming repercussions of a nation torn apart by race.
Spanning 500 years of history, Tambo & Bones laughs through our past, blows the roof off our present and imagines an explosive future for our world and for theatre.
Approx 120 mins (including interval).
This satirical show contains sounds of gunfire, strong language, repeated use of a racial slur, references to ethnic violence and war crimes, and discusses themes some may find upsetting relating to race.
