The Legends of Them Tickets

The Legends of Them Tickets On Sale Now

Music, biography and humour converge in the deeply personal new play The Legends of Them at the Royal Court Theatre this year. Written and performed by international reggae artist Sutara Gayle AKA Lorna Gee, this is a roof-raising chronicle of her life to date - and the many legends that have guided her on her path. It transfers from Hackney Showroom and Brixton House as part of Jerwood Theatre Downstairs’ latest season, so book tickets now to catch this “powerful record of collective trauma and healing” (A Youngish Perspective).

What is The Legends of Them about?

Sutara Gayle is surrounded by memories. She hears her radio debut from Holloway Prison. She’s at the centre of the Brixton uprising that was triggered by the police shooting of her sister. And now, in the present, she’s at a silent retreat in India with her brother Mooji. As the legends of her life appear in front of her - her mother Euphemia, her sister Cherry, and her ancestor Nanny of the Maroons - will she be able to face the demons of her past and find a way forward?

Inspired by Gayle’s remarkable life and career, The Legends of Them is a spiritual drama experience. Powered by dynamic music, unforgettable performance and sharp comedy, the story weaves through time and space, from Brixton to India and back again.
