A West End theatre will stage shows for an all-black audience to ensure ticket holders will be free from the “white gaze”.
Slave Play, starring Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow in the Game of Thrones, opens at London’s Noel Coward Theatre in June for a three-month run and will offer two performances specifically for an “all black-identifying audience”.
The events, known as “Black Out nights”, are intended to create a racially homogeneous environment “free from the white gaze” in a move critics have branded “simplistic and racist”.
