U.K. Prime Minister Blasts ‘Slave Play’ Shows for All-Black Audience
The office of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak claims he’s taking a closer look at the London production of Slave Play after it marketed select “Black Out” nights at the theater where show-goers could watch the production “free from the white gaze.”
A statement from Sunak’s office said the theater’s decision to market two shows to Black audiences only was “wrong and divisive.”
“The Prime Minister is a big supporter of the arts and he believes that the arts should be inclusive and open to everyone, particularly where those arts venues are in receipt of public funding,” read the statement.
