Following three sold-out runs, including a limited six-week run at the Apollo Theatre in 2023 Ryan Calais Cameron's play For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy returns to the West End in February 2024.

About For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy
Conceived in the wake of the killing of Trayvon Martin in 2012 - this play was developed over the course of the last decade with young Black men and mental health groups. For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy focuses on six young Black men who meet for group therapy, and let their hearts - and imaginations - run wild.
The play is inspired by Ntozake Shange’s seminal work For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf. Selling out its original run at the New Diorama Theatre, the subsequent transfer to the Royal Court Theatre, and its initial West End run at the Apollo Theatre, it's a joyful experience. Make sure you book your tickets to see this critically acclaimed play's return to the stage.

What an eventA depiction of black boys or man actually with their daily struggles, habbits and buckles. A play with an insight of black lives in the 21th. From beefing, begging and battles a black soul captured in a male conciousness and body takes in his/our experience for an audience to have. A laugh through typical sterotypes and a music reminescence of older days that did carry most of us away. The use of a slang that makes us what we are, black, beautiful, different but not beastly. A must see...

For black boysThis production was amazing and spectacular. The cast was on point with the acting the dancing and the singing. I took my teenage son with me and he absolutely loved it also his first time at the theatre. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone especially men in general. One of the messages was to talk more about your feelings. It’s a fantastic play and you should go along to watch it.

3rd time around says it allThis show needs to be seen by everyone. It needs to be fully acknowledged for its portrayal of a life most of us will never understand but many of us talk about; the black man, and for the brilliance of how its told. If it doesn't win awards then people aren't ready but I think they are. It's about time. Bring on the tour.

Review: FOR BLACK BOYS... at The Garrick Theatre
by Stuart King | Friday, March 8 2024, 21:52
Created by Ryan Calais Cameron and originally presented at the New Diorama Theatre, For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When the Hue Gets Too Heavy was inspired by Ntozake Shange’s seminal choreopoem For Coloured Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When The Rainbow Is Enuf and went through various iterations during its 12 years in development. Its format (6 black guys who interact through dialogue, song and movement) acts as a simple vehicle for presenting some weighty subjects disguised by a slick, stylish and playful delivery.
