A memory: reggae pioneer Sutara Gayle AKA Lorna Gee hears her radio debut from Holloway Prison. Another: the Brixton uprising, sparked by the police shooting of her sister. Now: a silent retreat, seeking spiritual guidance from her brother Mooji and Nanny of the Maroons.
A raucous, transcendent night out full of high-octane musical numbers and sharp comedy, The Legends of Them offers a roof-raising mixtape of Sutara’s extraordinary life – and the legends that have guided her.
Coming to the Royal Court after a critically acclaimed, sell-out Brixton debut, Hackney Showroom’s unmissable The Legends of Them is written and performed by award-winning actor and reggae star Sutara Gayle AKA Lorna Gee, directed by Jo McInnes.
