Roots

A magnificent classic 

Arnold Wesker's groundbreaking play, Roots, is getting a modern makeover by Director Diyan Zora (known for Tom Fool and Klippies). Since as far back as 1959, Roots has received critical acclaim for its epic realism and accurate portrayal of working-class life. It changed the landscape of British theatre forever. Now, rather than being set in 1950s England, Roots is being reimagined for 2024, offering a poetic and heartfelt peek into one young woman's journey to self-discovery!
