Gone Too Far!

23 July - 09 August

2008 Olivier Award Winner for Outstanding Achievement in an Affiliate Theatre   Nigeria, England, America, Jamaica; are you proud of where you're from? Dark skinned, light skinned, afro, weaves, who are your true brothers and sisters?   When two brothers from different continents go down the street to buy a pint of milk, they lift the lid on a disunited nation where everyone wants to be an individual but no one wants to stand out from the crowd.   Bola Agbaje's comic, vibrant and perceptive play about identity, history and culture depicts a world where respect is always demanded but rarely freely given.   ''A joyous, irreverent energy and a fresh, winning playfulness.'' Times     ''It has such energy, humour and sharpness... displays such a feel for street-slang, and deftly unpicks the confused impulses of young adults trying to work out their identity in multicultural Britain.''           Financial Times      Director Bijan Sheibani Lighting Jon Clark Sound Ian Dickinson Choreography Aline David   Cast Zawe Ashton, Tobi Bakare, Maria Charles, Ashley Chin, Phillip Edgerley, Munir Khairdin, Tunji Lucas, Ricci McLeod, Bunmi Mojekwu, Marcus Onilude
