About Blues for an Alabama Sky

To realise our dreams, we must wake up.

New York, 1930.

Following a decade of creative explosion, the Harlem Renaissance is starting to feel the bite of the Great Depression.

In the face of hardship and dwindling opportunity, Angel and her friends battle to keep their artistic dreams alive.

But, when Angel falls for a stranger from Alabama, their romance forces the group to make good on their ambitions, or give in to the reality of the time.

Lynette Linton directs a startling revival of this extraordinary play by Pearl Cleage. Samira Wiley (The Handmaid’s Tale, Orange Is the New Black) makes her UK stage debut alongside a cast that includes Ronkẹ Adékoluẹjo (Three Sisters), Osy Ikhile (Sweat), Sule Rimi (Barber Shop Chronicles) and Giles Terera (Death of England: Face to Face).

Great writing, Great staging, Great acting, Clever, Absorbing

See it if you like a show with several separate/intertwining stories.Acting is excellent.Set is amazing.Writing is as good as it gets.

Don’t see it if you are a racist.Actually you should see it so you can realized that people are people, some just have more of a burden to overcome.

Intelligent, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if you want to see a superb cast in a play that is funny, heartbreaking and compelling in all the right ways.

Don’t see it if you can’t sit through nearly 3 hours of quite slow theatre- regardless of how excellently written and performed it is.
