The AfronautsFrom Ryan Calais Cameron, the Sky Arts Award-winning writer of For Black Boys and Retrograde comes The Afronauts, telling the incredible, almost-forgotten story of Zambia's bold bid to conquer the final frontier; a space mission fuelled not by money or machinery, but by imagination and belief.

Deep AzureDeep Azure lands at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, marking its UK premiere. Written by the late, great, award-winning Chadwick Boseman. Known best globally for his work as an actor in films such as Black Panther and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Boseman was also accomplished as a playwright, with 2005's Deep Azure nominated for a Jeff Award for its drawing on the rhythms of Hip-Hop, the traditions of spoken word and the influence of Shakespearean verse. This new production is directed by Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu (For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy), making his Globe debut as a director.Showing until 11 AprSam Wanamaker PlayhousePrices fromMore infoBook Tickets
