16 June 2023 - 15 July 2023
New comedy Tambo & Bones is a rags-to-riches hip-hop journey!
The show seriously… hilariously… roasts America’s racist past, wrestles America’s racist present, and explodes America’s post-racial future — where what’s at stake, for those deemed less-than-human, is the fate of humanity itself.
Presented by Theatre Royal Stratford East and Actors Touring Company, this satirical rollercoaster of a show is part distorted clown-show, part spectacular hip-hop concert!
So accept our invitation, if you will, to step from the heart of the crumbling Empire into an America at the epicentre of the global Black Lives Matter movement.
Tambo & Bones runs at the Theatre Royal Stratford East from 16 June to 15 July 2023.
