In the wings

A PLAY about the slave trade comes to the Hackney Empire and the theatre is offering any Londoner aged 11-25 tickets for £1.
African Snow was commissioned to mark the 200th anniversary of the Abolition of Slave Trade Act. Slave leader Olaudah Equiano and John Newston, the converted slave-trader who later gave the world its most famous hymn, Amazing Grace, meet in this fictional story.
African Snow has a five-day run from May 29.

FOLLOWING their successful run in Kentish Town, Melting Pot has moved to The Victoria Pub in Mornington Crescent. Taking suggestions from the audience, the performers create a full-length play.
Until 1968, unscripted, spontaneous performance on the British stage was forbidden. Well worth a look, this runs fortnightly at 8pm next show is June 14.

GILBERT and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance returns to the Rosemary Branch theatre.
The show has a five-day run from May 30.
