There is something quite disgraceful about the audience engagement process in some of the leading theatres in the UK. I have been approached on more than one occasion by reputable mainstream theatre establishments to increase their audience capacity for ‘specific’ productions. These ‘specific’ productions tend to be classified as ‘Black plays’ which arguably or inarguably calls for a ‘Black audience’. Suddenly, their predominately ‘white’ audience is not good enough.
