DRUM is a fictional retelling of a meeting two Ghanaian creatives in 1960s London. Through these characters, we get to explore themes of immigration, identity and home.
The play seeks to weave together music, movement, and storytelling to create a thoughtful, fun and warm show about a burgeoning bromance DRUM is currently a work in progress. This will be script-in-hand R&D presentation directed by Sarah Amankwah best known as an actress for her role as Henry V at the Globe. DRUM is written by Jacob Roberts-Mensah (DEM TIMES, Our Day).
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.
