Black and She's Leaving Home Summary

Black and She's Leaving Home by Keith Saha

Black Nikki doesn't think her dad is a racist ... He just cares deeply about his community ... But when a Zimbabwean family move in over the road, the dog won't stop barking ... The local kids start lobbing stones ... And her dad starts laying down the law. Black is a hard-hitting play about racial tensions in the UK today She's Leaving Home At 15, Kelsey has her whole life in front of her and feels that she has everything she wants: good mates, a supportive family and big ambitions. But as the years roll by she slowly realises that leaving home to fulfill her dreams isn't as easy as she first imagined. She's Leaving Home was commissioned by Culture Liverpool as part of the 50th Anniversary of the Beatles seminal album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. With bracing insight into the worlds of two young women with very different struggles, Keith Saha's Black and She's Leaving Home force the issues of modern Britain to take centre stage. This edition was published to coincide with 20 Stories High's national tour of Black in 2018.

Black and She's Leaving Home Reviews

[She's Leaving Home] prises open cracks in the ordinary...The terraced house in which we sit transforms into a magical realist world, sensitively realised under Julia Samuels's direction. Keith Saha's script catches the cadences of teenage speech, flecked with poetry...The setting beautifully amplifies the intimacy of our immersion in this life, but this production would succeed equally in other spaces. It certainly deserves a life beyond the festival. * Clare Brennan on She's Leaving Home, Guardian, 2017 *
RARELY IS A PLAY SO FRESH SEEN ON THE LIVERPOOL STAGE. AN ABSOLUTE TRIUMPH. 10/10. * Marc Waddington on Ghost Boy, Liverpool Echo *
There is an attitude, a lyricism and a sharp observational humour in Saha's writing that you don't get to see and hear every day, and this play's ability to make you laugh one minute and be on the verge of tears the next is the mark of great theatre. * Marc Waddington on Melody Loses her Mojo, Liverpool Echo, 2013 *
