Turning Point screening and Q&A at Poplar Union

TURNING POINT is a Black heritage comedy melodrama which tells the story of four individuals in 1920s Barbados and Jamaica. It is inspired by oral histories about the Black Caribbean experience after the First World War and features performances by high-profile actors and rising stars against a backdrop of archive footage and a soundscape of community participant voices.

Featuring performances from Paterson Joseph (The Beach, Vigil, Noughts + Crosses), Suzette Llewellyn (Holby City, Eastenders, Surgical Spirit), Ashley D. Gayle and Veronica Beatrice Lewis. Created by Sweet Patootee Arts.

After the performance, Tony T from Sweet Patootee Arts will be answering questions about Turning Point, the production process, how his research informed the work, and why neglecting early 20th century British Black history has prevented important understanding of British heritage, and its legacy, today.
