Black Superhero Tickets

The play centres on three Black queer friends. One of them, King (Dyllón Burnside), is a Black, queer movie star who has the world at his feet, one is Raheem (Eloka Ivo), an up-and-coming actor, and finally David (Lewis Brown), an actor whose career has so far only led him to working as a children’s party entertainer for his sister Syd (Rochenda Sandall).

David is in love with King. But King is a superhero.  After an unexpected encounter David plunges himself into a world of sex, drugs and hero worship in the hope of being rescued, until fantasy and reality merge with devastating consequences.
