A 'controversial' theatre production about race, identity and sexuality in twenty-first century America will put on two nights for black audiences to watch the play 'free from the white gaze'.
Slave Play, starring Kit Harington who is best known for his role as Jon Snow in the HBO series Game of Thrones, is coming to the Noël Coward theatre in London's West End from 29 June to 21 September.
But on the evenings of 17 July and 17 September, the theatre will be open to an 'all-Black identifying audience'.

My take would be to protect them from white gaze every single night. Go woke go broke.

When will the play be open to an all-White-identifying audience so that the white audience can watch the play ‘free from the black gaze’?

Should be interesting to see how many whites identify as black. Please excuse me for being ashy tonight.

Burn down the theater. It’s what Antifa-BLM would do.

Let them have black only audiences, for the entire run.

They have gone insane. I think its funny, the party of slavery has convinced the ethnic group they enslaved that segregation is now to their benefit. Its quite masterful manipulation if you ask me.

Hell, the all black audiences are so confused they thought the Founding Fathers where black. I don’t think it makes any difference to them what color anybody is.

My freshman year of college we had a campus dorm house for Blacks only. I thought that was strange. It was what Blacks wanted.

I just bought some white miso paste vs. the red (darker variety).
In regards to this article can’t decide if I’m racist or just staying in my white privilege lane? Oh wait, Asian product-never mind.

But on the evenings of 17 July and 17 September, the theatre will be open to an 'all-Black identifying audience'. So, if you "identify" as a descendant of an African slave, you'll be able to get in and receive an extra large reparations sized box of popcorn and Diet Coke?
