My Voice Was Heard But It Was Ignored by Nana-Kofi Kufuor returns for a second national tour.
About the show
Fifteen-year-old Reece is roughly accosted by the police outside M&S. His face presses into the wet gravel as a policeman digs a knee into his back.
His teacher Gillian watches on, frozen out of fear for her own safety.
The next day, Reece locks them both in her classroom and refuses to relinquish the key. He wants her to pay – and to fully understand the pain of the irreversible breakdown of trust her inaction has caused.
My Voice Was Heard But It Was Ignored is an urgent interrogation of racial identity by Nana-Kofi Kufuor, directed by Dermot Daly.
A Red Ladder and Leeds Playhouse co-production with support from Oldham Coliseum
IN THE PRESS

“Jelani D’Aguilar plays Reece with a mix of impotent rage, untapped intelligence, humour and genuine menace”
“Provokes questions that lodge firmly in the mind, continuing to echo after the show ends.”
