Tambo & Bones by Dave Harris

Tambo & Bones by Dave Harris

A daring theatrical exploration of the intersection of race, capitalism and performance, by slam poet turned playwright Dave Harris.

'Blistering… sobering… lacerating stage poetry'

* New York Magazine *

'A racially charged metatheatrical satire and "rags-to riches hip-hop odyssey" by slam poet turned playwright Dave Harris'

* Time Out New York *

'Not your typical play about race.. Harris has created a hallucinogenic collage in which ideas about protest and history, art and moneymaking tumble over each other'

* The Times *

'Provocative and like nothing you've ever seen... an unapologetic vision of America's racial history – combining elements of minstrelsy, hip hop and afrofuturism... darkly funny and downright disturbing'

* Telegraph *

'Entertaining and unnerving... packs a potent message while toying with the conventions of theatre itself'

* The Stage *

'A loud, provocative confrontation of the US's muddy racial history... form-shifting and endlessly surprising... the final scene is one of the most affecting I have seen on stage. Unique, challenging and oh-so necessary, it is a moment that will stay with you long after the play's close'

* Guardian *

'Unpredictably bonkers... a cluster bomb of a play... Harris' lyrical but deadly sharp writing is totally disarming, it uses and abuses theatrical form with iconoclastic brutality'

* Broadway World *

'I guarantee that you will never have seen a play like this!!... a marvellous piece of theatre... superbly written: VERY funny, then suddenly very shocking... by far the best new American play I have seen for years: it really has to be experienced'

* LondonTheatre1 *

'Daring and layered... hard-hitting... such a powerful, exciting piece of theatre... a stellar work of art'

* All That Dazzles *

'Funny, filthy, and often gleefully ridiculous... a vivid, bone-crunchingly intimate joyride of a show... a blast'

* Time Out *
