Acknowledgements
It’s been said before, but it really does take a village.
Thank you to the ancestors that came before me and all the queer black elders who inspire me in life as well as art. Especially Uncle Cyril, Le Gateau Chocolat and Mamma D.
To the Royal Court Writer’s programme, without which I’m not sure this play (or my playwriting career) would have ever started. Thanks to everyone in my group, especially John King and Elin Schofield. And to Joe Ward Munrow, Ellie Horne and Louise Stephens, for their early notes and encouragement.
To John R. Gordon, Rikki-Beadle Blair and, of course, Tom Wright. Thank you being my first and greatest champion, teacher and advocate.
To all the actors from the readings and full production, thank you for giving my words life and my mind more dimensions: Rebekah Murrell, Ike Ononye, Mensah Bediako, Susan Aderin, Nicholle Cherrie, Sheila Atim, Sule Rimi, Cyril Nri, Sarah Niles, Stefan Adegbola, Jumoké Fashola, David Webber, Ibinabo Jack and Cherrelle Skeete.
To everyone at the Bush! For believing in this story and for making it sing. Lynette Linton, Deirdre O’Halloran and, most especially, Daniel Bailey. Thank you all so much.
To everyone at Birmingham Rep for making this possible. Especially to Amit Sharma.
