What happens if you’re not Black enough for the ends, but too Black for the rest of the world? Tones – A Hip-Hop Opera follows the pivotal moments of lead character Jerome, AKA The Professor, and his upbringing from childhood to his departure from university. As he battles with his identity, we go on a journey through the depths of Black-British culture, class, and belonging.

‘This is a masterclass in the art of telling a story through rap’
Ed Fringe Guide
Presented by award-winning Wound Up Theatre, Tones – A Hip-Hop Opera combines the gritty underground sounds of hip-hop, grime and drill with the melodrama of opera to tell the story of a treacherous path to self-discovery.
From writer and performer Gerel Falconer, winner of Best Book and Lyrics at the Black British Theatre Awards 2023 and nominee for The Stage Debut Awards, Tones is a riveting exploration of the Black experience and the Mixed experience.
