If You Don't Know - For Black Boys

Download For Black Boys

The author of the sold-out play For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy, Ryan Calais Cameron tells Roshan why he wrote it. He says he wanted to give black men something that would make them go: “Wow. I am something. I am worthy enough to be alive.” And he explains how he’s made the theatre a welcoming place for people who’ve never felt comfortable there before.
