Soho Socials: Typical

Ever watched a brilliant show and come away with a thousand questions you wanted to ask them about how they put everything together?

Well here’s your chance. And, thanks to the wonders of Zoom, you can do it from the comfort of your own home.

Over the years we have had the opportunity to work with some of the best creative teams in the industry and film their shows for Soho Theatre On Demand and now you can watch the shows with us and take part in a Q&A after the show.

Each show will start at 8pm and be streamed via Zoom and afterwards we will then be joined by a member of the team to tell us more about the show and answer questions from everyone watching.

THE SHOW:

Richard Blackwood reprises his role in a specially filmed version of the Edinburgh and Soho smash hit.

First performed in 2019 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe before the hit play transferred to Soho Theatre for a sell-out run, Typical is a powerful exploration of racism and how British society stereotypes Black masculinity. This urgent and important new drama stars Hollyoaks regular and former EastEnders star Richard Blackwood reprising the critically acclaimed part he played in the original stage version.

‘Harrowing but vital… Richard Blackwood is outstanding’.

Written by award-winning playwright Ryan Calais Cameron and directed by Anastasia Osei-Kuffour, Typical uncovers the man and the humanity behind the tragic true-life events of Black British ex-serviceman Christopher Alder and the injustice that still remains twenty years since his story emerged.
