“Beautifully written… this is what theatre is all about”
New York Post
The UK première
1960’s South Carolina. From childhood playmates to teenage sweethearts, Eugene and Alma believe in the transforming power of love. But while love may not conquer all, Alma and Eugene cling to it with childlike optimisim. A tale of social conflict, Yellowman is at the same time a celebration of friendship and the strength of the human spirit.
Hailed by the New York Times as “a landmark in theatre history…enthralling…mind-altering”, Yellowman, written in 2002, is already one of the most widely-performed plays in the US. With Cecilia Noble as Alma and Kevin as Eugene.
Cecilia Noble and Kevin Harvey’s dazzling performances are compassionate, intelligent and tough …. Brighter than that Southern sunshine
