Playing Away

12 Oct 2024 12:00 - 13:45

Part 1 of a film double bill and showing as part of Black History Month 2024 - Intergenerational Fusion: Empowering Black Minds.

When a West Indian cricket team from Brixton are invited to play a charity game in a small English village, members of both teams have their reservations.

A weekend in the country away from the inner city produces unexpected results both on and off the field of play.

Playing Away subtly explores and undermines white and black stereotypes and succeeds in linking two familiar but strange cultures through the simple device of a cricket match.

From pioneering British filmmaker Horace Ové comes this comedy of manners with an outstanding array of British talent on display.

Part 2 of the Black British Classics Double Bill is Belle (2013) – tickets must be purchased separately. Tickets for each part are priced at £5.
