The NT’s largest auditorium is being remodelled and transformed to host this new play by Clint Dyer and Roy Williams with Michael Balogun as a black working class man grappling with his comp-lex relationship with Great Britain. It’s a completely stand alone piece but also operates as a counterpoint to the Rafe Spall performed Death of England that was playing at the NT just before lockdown. Maybe it will spawn a complete series. It’s good to see the NT back presenting work and even better that later in the year it is planning to stage a pantomime, Dick Whittington, in a version first seen at the Lyric Hammersmith in 2018 and directed by Ned Bennett. Dates for that are not yet announced, but Death of England: Delroy begins on October 21 with public booking from October 2. Get it in your diary.
