Full cast announced for BLACK LOVE launching Kiln Theatre’s 2022 season

Kiln Theatre have announced the full company for Chinonyerem Odimba’s Black Love, which launches the theatre’s 2022 season from 28 March-23 April.

With a book and lyrics by Odimba and music by Ben and Max Ringham, Odimba directs Nathan Queeley-Dennis who reprises the role of Orion, Nicholle Cherrie as Roo and Beth Elliott as Lois – who join the company for the run at Kiln Theatre.

Meet Aurora and Orion. Sister and brother. Constellations in time. More than blood. More than just fam.

Inside their small London flat, memories of their parents’ Black love surrounds them. When that love is threatened, they must first find understanding and connection before they can begin to find a way back to one another.

An explosion of form-busting storytelling, Black Love celebrates and investigates the Black experience through music, real-life stories and imagined worlds.

The production features design by Richard Kent, lighting by Richard Howell, sound by Joel Price, video by Gillian Tan, and musical direction by Candida Caldicot.
