From Academy Award-winning writer Tarell Alvin McCraney (Moonlight, The Brother/Sister Plays), comes this exhilarating and tender coming of age story. Nancy Medina’s celebrated production premiered at Bristol Old Vic in 2023 and won three Black British Theatre Awards including Best Production and Best Director.

Pharus is a confident and gifted singer who has earned his position as soloist. But when his pride is sullied by one of his peers, he falters... what does it mean to be a young, Black, queer man – and to be one at the Charles R. Drew Prep School for Boys?

We’re sent on an electrifying journey through the growing pains of humanity as, together, the boys navigate spirituality, sexuality, race, identity, and brotherhood in their journey to becoming men. Threaded throughout with soul-stirring a cappella gospel hymns and spirituals, this beautiful, joyous play rejoices in all that it means to march to your own drum.

Presented by Stratford East.
Originally produced by Bristol Old Vic.
