Tambo & Bones

Winner of 2019 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting and UK Theatre Awards.

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.
