The Legends Of Them Tickets

Coming to the Royal Court Theatre following a critically-acclaimed, sell-out debut in Brixton, this powerful piece of theatre is written and performed by the British actor and internationally acclaimed reggae musician Sutara Gayle AKA Lorna Gee. Welcome to one woman's epic voyage of discovery.

The Legends of Them - The story

This is a compelling mix tape-like version of Sutara's life, enhanced with plenty of major bass. As a string of memories unfolds we hear her stories. The reggae pioneer hears her radio debut from Holloway Prison. The Brixton uprising roars through London's streets, sparked by the police shooting her sister. A silent retreat sees her looking for spiritual guidance from her brother Mooji and Nanny of the Maroons. As the story unfolds, so does the life of this extraordinary woman.

Billed as a 'raucous, transcendent night out' full of high-octane musical numbers and sharp comedy, the show delivers a roof-raising exploration of a highly unusual life and the experiences that have inspired her.
