Book Synopsis
The story of Black British theatre at its most radical, entertaining and profound - told through the lives of its great trailblazers

Trade Review

Stephen Bourne is a hero of our history. He has published countless books, always accessible to all, on the hidden stories of our presence on these shores. Let’s honour Stephen for quietly shining a light on our history

-- Booker Prize-winner Bernardine Evaristo

Stephen Bourne is a tireless chronicler of the Black British history of the last century or so. I love Stephen’s books because he gives voice to real people – Black soldiers, sailors, musicians, campaigners, doctors, nurses, broadcasters and so many more

-- Jhalak Prize-winner Patrice Lawrence
