Superblackman

“Last year Lekan Lawal won the Stage Debut Director Award for Betrayal at Derby Theatre. For the last year he has been at Battersea Arts Centre gaining experience in all areas of artistic leadership. This is a young artist who is really flying, and definitely someone worth following on Stagedoor. This piece created for Battersea’s gorgeous Grand Hall space is about Al, who thinks he can fly. Like a comic or graphic novel brought to life, Superblackman draws on super hero pop culture and mythology to ask why so many young black men experience mental health issues.”
