August In England (Reading)
Written by LENNY HENRY
Lenny Henry's funny and deeply moving debut play took London by storm and now comes to Live Theatre in this first reading outside of the capital. A story of love, family heartache and the Windrush scandal.
‘You never allow me tell my story. I been trying to tell it someone and nobody listenin'.
Charming, flawed, and with the gift of the gab, we all know a man like August Henderson. Between his three kids, devoted wife-to-be, and part-ownership of a fruit and veg shop, he is proud of the life he has built since landing in his beloved West Bromwich.
So, when faced with deportation to a country he has no memory of, he isn’t prepared to go quietly. Listen up, he is ready to tell his own story.
Poignant and hilarious in equal measure, August in England gives insight into the lives impacted by the injustice of the Windrush scandal.
