The Man In Blue Who Came To Tea, Summer 2020
I was approached by Theatre Company, Monkey’s Fist Theatre Company, to write a monologue for their upcoming production "The Entwined"; a collection of monologues featuring modern twists on Classic Fairytales. From Horror, to Comedy, Black Comedy and Political portrayals, a team of amazing writers and actors joined together to create this unique piece.
The monologue "The Man in Blue Who Came To Tea" is a modern and political twist on "Goldilocks and The Three Bears", commenting on the Racism present in the current climate of the USA and the treatment of POC by the Police. It details the experience of a Black family and their interaction with 'the man in blue', focusing on the closer experiences of the young child who uses his trauma to fight against the discrimination in his neighbourhood.
