Generations (r&d)

A Black British-themed Spoken Word Poetry Theatre piece written by Ryan Dre Sinclair exploring generational expectations/trauma, culture, identity and family differences. And how they differ from generation to generation.

A Father keen to right his young adulthood wrongs in his family relationships. A Son trying to live up to his father’s expectations, and his Mum’s memory whilst avoiding black generational trauma being passed down. And a lady, searching for more than her Mother ever had- eager not to end up alone, forgotten and abused by the system.

This 3 weeks R&D was supported by ACE and The Belgrade Theatre, Coventry. We performed a sharing of the script at the Crescent in Birmingham.
