About the Project
The Dream, written and directed by Nnenna Samson Abosi, was first performed in 2020 as a radio play produced by SPID Theatre as part of their Estate Endz community theatre programme. Inspired by the Mangrove 9, the lived experience of the Windrush generation, the Race Relations Acts, and the Black Power movement, The Dream highlights Black British activism and community resilience.
This new stage adaptation will celebrate the Windrush generation, cultural pride, and anti-racist history through theatre and storytelling, and will run alongside a curated exhibition for Windrush Day.
