London Theatre's 'Black Out' Nights Condemned by U.K. Prime Minister's Office
U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's office has criticized the proposed "Black Out" performances of the play "Slave Play" in London, stating that restricting audiences based on race is wrong and divisive. The controversial play, which explores race, identity, and sexuality, is set to run from June 29 to Sept. 21 at the Noël Coward Theatre. The producers have defended the Black Out nights as a means to increase accessibility to theater for everyone, emphasizing that no one will be prevented from attending any performance.
