This cast is the future of theatre
Deep Azure is written by late Academy Award-nominated actor and writer Chadwick Boseman and directed by award-winning theatre maker Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu (For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy) in his Globe directorial debut.
The cast will comprise Ryn Alleyne as Ensemble/Cover, Maxwell Chartey as Ensemble/Cover, Elijah Cook as Tone, Jayden Elijah as Deep, Aminita Francis as SK Good, Selina Jones as Azure, Justice Ritchie as Roshad, and Imani Yahshua as SK Evil.
Director Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu says: “I am incredibly excited for the brilliant team we have assembled to bring this production together – featuring a cast and crew of both Black British and Black American voices in a play that speaks to both continents in a variety of ways. We have all connected in our love for Chadwick’s vision, his words and the theatrical elements of Hip-Hop & Shakespeare that brim within Deep Azure. I believe, with this cast, we have sampled the future
of theatre and Hollywood talent in time to come.”
