Black, British and fed up with your life in the UK? Choose Blaxit
Blaxit Means Blaxit is a bold, satirical and tender exploration of young Black Brits who decide life in the UK is no longer enough.
Angry and alienated, Simona longs to escape the life she has known. Radiant and revitalised, Blaxit influencers Carmen and Elijah encourage Black Brits to return to the lands their ancestors left not so long ago. Enticed by their promise of paradise Simona packs up her life in the UK for Barbados. Will a new generation be able to complete the search for a better life, generations before them fought for in the UK or does that better life not exist? Blaxit Means Blaxit is an award-winning play (Mustapha Matura Award 2025) by Thea Melton exploring Caribbean identity, themes of belonging, alienation and displacement.
“It means so much to be working at CPT, it’s such a good opportunity to work in a professional environment at my age. I didn’t think that was ever going to happen and it means the world to me. It’s really going to help prepare me for my future and where I want to go”
