Official Trailer | Les Blancs | National Theatre at Home

A family and a nation fall apart under the pressure to determine their own identity. Written eleven years after A Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine Hansberry’s final drama, Les Blancs, is a highly theatrical search for the soul of post-colonial Africa.

Yaël Farber (Mies Julie, Nirbhaya) directs this brave, illuminating and powerful work that confronts the hope and tragedy of revolution.

Les Blancs is streaming for free with National Theatre at Home from 7pm UK time on Thursday 2 July, until 7pm UK time on Thursday 29 July 2020.

‘Humane and disturbingly beautiful. An exquisite production.’ Daily Telegraph ★★★★★
‘A searing portrait of the revolutionary spirit.’ Evening Standard ★★★★
‘Powerful. Jaw-dropping.’ Time Out ★★★★
‘Epic. A near-perfect production.’ The Guardian ★★★★

Thank you to the amazing artists who have allowed us to share Small Island in this way, during this unprecedented time, when so many theatre fans can't visit their local theatres.

At the National Theatre in London, we make world-class theatre that is entertaining, challenging and inspiring. And we make it for everyone.

Les Blancs was filmed live on-stage for the National Theatre Archive in 2016.

This one looks extraordinary. I have no doubt it will amazing as usual. Is there an IMDB entry for this show? I've been able to find all National Theatre shows there so far but I'm not lucky with this one.
