Little Baby Jesus & Estate Walls

Little Baby Jesus & Estate Walls by Arinz Kene

Two plays, both set in contemporary inner-city London, showcasing the remarkable poetic and theatrical imagination of writer/performer Arinze Kene.

'An intense, visceral and vivid portrayal of the often-brutal reality of growing upIt feels starkly authentic and cruel, whilst at times is wildly funny and is all the more appealing for it'

* Broadway World on Little Baby Jesus *

'A huge groundswell of hormones, mistakes, loneliness and searching. You feel, emotionally, like you know the story and care about these three teenagers and that is why Arinzé Kene is brilliant'

* Time Out on Little Baby Jesus *

'The great joy of the play springs from Kene's sharp-eyed, witty observations and the lyricism of his descriptive writing... moves from hysterically funny to tear-jerkingly moving in an instant, with comedy, harsh reality and allegory fitting together seamlessly... rides the highs and lows of the years of teenage discovery and arrives assuredly at a life affirming destination'

* The Reviews Hub on Little Baby Jesus *

'Here is a play that will be racing through you, making you laugh and think, long after you've left the theatre... a genre-defying theatrical hybrid – a thrilling combination of performance poetry, standup comedy and good old-fashioned storytelling'

* Guardian on Little Baby Jesus *

'Skips majestically between the epic and urban in a story that would feel as comfortable set against a Grecian palace as it does the grimy city wall of its title... Kene's eclectic dialogue is a pleasure to listen to, jumping from poetic to pithy and back again with remarkable ease'

* Theatre Workbook on Estate Walls *

'Witty and intelligent... deftly captures and magnifies the poetry of everyday conversation on an estate'

* Soul Culture on Estate Walls *
