G is a bold, visceral play from writer Tife Kusoro, Royal Court Introduction to Playwriting Group alumni and winner of the Lynne Gagliano Award in 2020. 

Directed by Monique Touko (School Girls; Or, the African Mean Girls Play), the drama stars Selorm Adonu (Brother’s Keeper) and Kadiesha Belgrave (Grud), Ebenezer Gyau (Dear England) and Dani Harris-Walters (Avant Garde Dance).

G runs from 22 August 2024 to 21 September 2024 at the Royal Court Theatre London.
