Black Men Walking, Theatre Review. Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Cast: Tyrone Huggins, Trevor Laird, Tonderai Munyevu, Dorcas Sebuyange.

By denying the inalienable truth of the past, we suffer the fools of the future, instead of celebrating the fact, we experience the danger of lies and slurs becoming the norm, it is this misrepresentation of history that brings us the insanity of Presidents and the vileness of certain groups and their unfathomable so called logic, better to admit in the open and let the fools run, that the country we live in, no matter where we live, is made of a history that is more diverse, more beautiful than we understand, that we all walk, we walk in the shadow of our ancestors.

There really is nothing quite like watching two of the most celebrated actors of their generation giving an audience an evening inside a theatre in which will be remembered for so long and for all the right reasons. When those two actors are the exquisite and commanding Vanessa Redgrave and one of the all-time greatest American actors in James Earl Jones and they are surrounded by a cast that just revelled in the performance, then The Old Vic was on to an absolute winner with their new stage production of Much Ado About Nothing.
