Trix Worrell won Channel 4’s Debut ’84 prize for best script with this compelling story of a black youth thrown into a conflict of loyalties when he teams up with two white friends and breaks into the home of a feisty black elderly woman. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion examining what the fantastic plays in the season can teach us about black drama, and what opportunities lie ahead for black creatives and writers in a modern digital landscape.
Q&A with writers Trix Worrell, Daniel Fajemisin-Duncan, Marlon Smith (Save Me) and season curator Stephen Bourne, chaired by broadcaster Brenda Emmanus
Trix Worrell’s prescient play deals with gang loyalty.
