Rasheeda Speaking heads to the UK

After a groundbreaking run in New York in 2015, Joel Drake Johnson's dark and timely play heads to the Trafalgar Studios this spring. Starring Tanya Moodie and Elizabeth Berrington this tense workplace drama explores the issues of underlying racism within the workplace, white guilt and power manipulation.

Set in one of Chicago's wealthiest hospitals a white doctor enlists her friend and colleague as a spy in order to get of the receptionist, who happens to be black. As time progresses their relationship becomes fraught and tensions run high, with the office now a battleground for power, fuelled by passive aggression and paranoia, things to begin to spin wildly out of control.
