Les Blancs: The African, European and American Narrative and the Role of Trauma | National Theatre

A panel discussion on Les Blancs, in the context of the African, European and American narrative, and the role of trauma in the play, lead by Ola Animashawun, from the National Theatre's New Work and Learning departments. The panel for this discussion includes director Dawn Walton and producer Tobi Kyeremateng. Les Blancs is Lorraine Hansberry’s final drama, written eleven years after A Raisin in the Sun. The play is a highly theatrical search for the soul of post-colonial Africa. The National Theatre's New Work Department creates world-leading new plays for the National Theatre’s stages. The stories it develops reflect the diversity of the UK, actively mapping the best emerging talent from across the country. Acclaimed new plays produced at the National Theatre include Death of England, Barber Shop Chronicles and Nine Night.
