About the Show

The Olivier-Award nominated play about six black men in group therapy returns to the West End.

Father figures and fashion advice. Missed loves and jollof rice. African empires and illicit sex. Good days and bad days. Six young Black men come together for a group therapy session, and let their hearts – and minds – run wild.

'For Black Boys...' is teeters on the threshold of joyful imagination and brutal reality: a world of music, movement, storytelling, and verse – where six men come into conflict and connection in a desperate bid for survival.

The show returns to London's West End, where it had a limited run in 2023.

This production is recommended for ages 15+.
