Written by Matthew Turner
Directed by Yasmeen Arden
Produced by Fabia Turner
Design by Holly Pigott
Arcola Residency cast: Franc Ashman, Roger Griffiths, Karlina Grace-Paseda, Teri Ann Bobb-Baxter, Trieve Blackwood-Cambridge
We were incredibly proud to have been offered a week long residency at Arcola Theatre to develop Dead Yard by Matthew Turner - funded by Arts Council Grants for Arts and part of ArcolaLAB (ACE Sustained Theatre).
A West London Jamaican family is coming to terms with the loss of their beloved Pop-Pop. Following the family through the traditional ritual of nine nights mourning, this astounding new play puts a family’s grief under the spotlight.
DEAD YARD was part of ArcolaLab - http://www.arcolatheatre.com/projects/p/arcolalab/
DEAD YARD was also selected for Arcola Theatre's PLAYWROUGHT new writing festival
