Lovers of Black Theatre

We are the Lovers of Black Theatre, a diverse group of theatre goers who are united around our shared passion: Black theatre productions.

We support all forms of theatre but we specialise in Black British theatre, predominantly in London, but also throughout the UK.

After each production, we have a group discussion to review the production through the lens of our own life experiences.

Sometimes these exchanges can get lively, but our aim is to create a safe space where all views are welcomed. This is the best part, because we learn more about our fellow members in a deep and meaningful way. Many friendships have been formed during these exchanges, and we hope to form many more in the future.

With this in mind, we ask that members come prepared to engage in our conversations about the plays. Our group discussions often include a panel of members of the cast of the production as well as the writers and producers when we can get hold of them.

Like the productions, which touch on all aspects of race, sexual orientation, gender and religion, our members belong to all races, sexual orientation, religions, genders or non-gender. Our shared experiences and discussions are all the richer, informative and life affirming because of this eclectic mix.

Sincerely,
Co Organisers of LOBT
