Tambo and Bones are stuck in a minstrel show.
It’s hard to know what’s real when you’re stuck in a minstrel show.
Their escape plan: get out, get rich, get even.
In this exhilarating, funny and provocative satire, Tambo & Bones journey from comedy double-act, to hip-hop superstars, to activists in a future America, contending with the alarming repercussions of a nation torn apart by race.
Spanning 500 years of history, Tambo & Bones laughs through our past, blows the roof off our present and imagines an explosive future for our world and for theatre.
"Unpredictably bonkers... fasten your seatbelt"
"This is not your typical play about race"
“Unique, challenging and oh-so necessary”The Guardian
