The 80s and 90s in Camden saw racial tensions and clashes between young Bengalis and British teenagers at a high. But amidst the chaos, hope emerged.
Bengali Boys is a work-in-progress sharing and panel discussion that explores the complex history of Camden. Using a blend of interviews, archival footage and a live performance, Bengali Boys shares the triumphs, struggles, and resilient spirit of this diverse community.
From the streets to the stage, this interactive sharing explores Camden’s past, present and future.
Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
