A piece of gig theatre like no other, Tones – A Hip Hop Opera combines the gritty underground sounds of hip-hop, grime and drill with the melodrama of opera to tell the story of a treacherous path to self-discovery. From writer and performer Gerel Falconer, winner of Best Book and Lyrics at the Black British Theatre Awards 2024 and nominee for The Stage Debut Awards, Tones is a riveting exploration of the black experience and the mixed experience.
What happens if you’re not black enough for the ends, but too black for the rest of the world? A man in a battle with his identity, and on a journey through the depths of Black-British culture, class and belonging. Running Time 1 hour
