Lenny Henry makes his playwriting debut in August in England, now on at the Bush Theatre.
Directed by Lynette Linton and Daniel Bailey, Henry writes and performs the one-man show that offers an insight into the lives impacted by the injustice of the Windrush scandal.
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.
August in England is at the Bush Theatre until June 10.
