Tabernacle, Powis Square, London W11 2AY
A Trini 'bwoy' rolls off a boat into 1950s London. Ten years later he is the most famous black man in Britain, but who was Michael X? The 'authentic voice of black bitterness' [Observer 1965] or the ex Rachman henchman for whom politics was just another hustle?
Set at a political rally, Vanessa Walters' new play probes at the heart of politics in 1960s Britain and the 'true story' of Michael X.
Tickets cost £5 and can be bought on www.carnivalvillage.org.uk or the box office on 0871 271 5151.
