The play outlines, and desribes in detail how members of Black and minority communities have lost their lives due to the infliction of racist acts, both physical and societal. Some discriptions but by no means all, are are recounted in graphic detail.

‘Did George Floyd’s killing mark a turning point for real change or yet another false dawn?’ Despite the global outcry and public machinations over the murder of George Floyd, in America the police continue to instigate indiscriminate, discriminatory and disproportional violence against Black and Brown communities. The continual discovery of new footage of members of the Black community being brutalised at the hands of law enforcement entrusted to protect shows this to be a systematic problem. Meanwhile here in Britain years of mistrust between the Police and Black communities continue to fester. Is there a parallel history of structural inequality in Britain that encapsulates and underlines a deep racist mistrust between the Black community and the police? Michael Livington is a 42 year old Black Briton living in East London but ever since he viewed the viral footage of George’s murder it’s remained his mind throwing his life into free-fall.
