A 'controversial' theatre production about race, identity and sexuality in twenty-first century America will put on two nights for black audiences to watch the play 'free from the white gaze'.
Slave Play, starring Kit Harington who is best known for his role as Jon Snow in the HBO series Game of Thrones, is coming to the Noël Coward theatre in London's West End from 29 June to 21 September.
But on the evenings of 17 July and 17 September, the theatre will be open to an 'all-Black identifying audience'. ...
Hmmm ... if this play's audience needs to be saved from my gaze simply because the pigmentation of my skin is lighter than others, then the entire play must be saved from my gaze (i.e., I'm not interested in ever buying a ticket to attend in the first place). Heh heh heh heh heh ... you woketards are really, really good at knowing just how to reduce, if not outright eliminate, your financial success.
