The reviews are in for Lenny Henry’s playwriting debut at The Bush Theatre. The production, co-directed by agency client Lynette Linton, and with video design by Gino Ricardo Green, has received critical acclaim across the board. AUGUST IN ENGLAND has received five-stars from The Guardian, The Telegraph, Black in Britain, and Salterton Arts Review. It received four stars from The Times, Evening Standard, The Stage, Broadway World, iNews, Financial Times and Time Out.
Charming, flawed, and with the gift of the gab, we all know a man like August Henderson. Between his three kids, devoted wife-to-be, and part-ownership of a fruit and veg shop, he is proud of the life he has built since landing in his beloved West Bromwich.
So, when faced with deportation to a country he has no memory of, he isn’t prepared to go quietly. Listen up, he is ready to tell his own story.
Poignant and hilarious in equal measure, AUGUST IN ENGLAND gives insight into the lives impacted by the injustice of the Windrush scandal. Lynette Linton and Daniel Bailey’s production runs until 10th June at the Bush Theatre. Tickets are available here.
Lynette Linton is represented by Emily Hickman at The Agency.
Gino Ricardo Green is represented by Simon Blakey at The Agency.
