  • Bio

    Nitro, formally known as Black Theatre Co-operative, was formed in 1979 to give opportunities to black actors, writers and directors. Since its first production Welcome Home Jacko by Mustapha Matura the company has produced over forty shows. From new writing to opera from hip-hop theatre to musicals NITRO’s work has covered a huge range of stories and forms. In 1996 Felix Cross became Artistic Director and in 1999 the company changed its name in NITRO, starting a new phase in its exploration of contemporary black British musical theatre. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..by ..Mojisola Adebayo..OUR NEW PRODUCTION.. .. .."They say your life flashes in front of you just before you die... But supposing it’s not just your life. Supposing it's someone else’s…".. .. Soldier Boy, a troubled teenage hoody lands on Deptford beach with a knife in his stomach. As he lies crying for his mother his cries are heard through the centuries by the long-dead Desert Man, a mysterious man from Mali 300 years ago. .. The story transcends inner city streets to slave ships on the open seas as both man and boy share the absurdity and brutality of their history in order to shape their future. .. Set on Deptford Beach, ..Desert Boy.. is a funny, provoking, poetic new musical which offers an eclectic mix of modern and traditional styles of music from Mali to hip hop, from gospel to rap. An a cappella musical with African story-telling and songs woven seamlessly together using dance and drama. .. .. ........ .. ..
