Of A Darker Hue
Written by REGINALD EDMUND   |    Directed by ERROL ANTHONY WILKS
This October, you are invited to step into the circle for an unforgettable evening of storytelling, where shadows flicker, lanterns glow, and voices from the past rise to speak their truths. Of A Darker Hue is more than theatre—it is ritual. Inspired by the ancient griot tradition, these haunting monologues bring to life ghosts of history, curses that linger, and the fierce resilience of the Black spirit. Performed in the round, by lantern light, with live music underscoring each moment, this experience pulls you into the fire where stories burn brightest. Come ready to carry these voices with you—because once you hear them, they will not let you go.
