No More Mr Nice Guy
A new play with spoken word and live music
This event has passed
Prepare to be captivated by the world premiere of the award-winning experimental gig-theatre production No More Mr Nice Guy.
This gripping narrative revolves around Keloughn Douglas, a British-Caribbean Music Teacher entangled in the complexities of his aspirations for senior leadership, a burning passion for a successful music career, and his yearning to marry the love of his life.
As he grapples with the balancing act of work and personal life while navigating the day’s microaggressions, Keloughn’s world hangs in the balance.
Audiences will be drawn into his psyche through a captivating blend of storytelling, movement, rap, RnB, and sound effects. Described as “skilful“, “funny“, “thought-provoking” and “clever,” – this is not to be missed.
