Naman Ramachandran Ryan Calais Cameron’s Olivier nominated “For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy” has unveiled a new cast for its return to London’s West End.

In the play, six young Black men meet for group therapy, and let their hearts and imaginations run wild. Starring in the roles of Onyx, Pitch, Jet, Sable, Obsidian and Midnight are Tobi King Bakare (“I May Destroy You”), Shakeel Haakim making his professional debut, Fela Lufadeju (“Santiago”), Albert Magashi (“Dear England”), Mohammed Mansaray (“Gassed Up”) and Posi Morakinyo (“Mandela”) respectively.

Cameron was inspired by Ntozake Shange’s seminal 1976 work “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf.” It was originally conceived by Cameron in the wake of the killing of Trayvon Martin in 2012 and has been developed over the course of the last decade with young Black men and mental health groups.

Cameron will direct the new production. Movement direction and choreography is by Theophilus O. Bailey, musical direction and vocal arrangement by John Pfumojena, sound design and composition by Nicola T.
