Two week extension announced for DEEP AZURE at Shakespare's Globe

Deep Azure is written by late Academy Award-nominated actor and writer Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther) and directed by award-winning theatre maker Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu (For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy, New Diorama/Royal Court/Apollo) in his Globe directorial debut. It stars Elijah Cook as Tone, Jayden Elijah as Deep, Aminita Francis as SK Good, Selina Jones as Azure, Justice Ritchie as Roshad, and Imani Yashua as SK Evil.

In this lyrical hip-hop epic inspired by the true story of university student Prince Jones and influenced by the poetry of Shakespeare, a young black man named Deep is killed by the police, leaving his fiancee Azure with her world falling apart, while their friends, Roshad and Tone, seek to find peace through the spiritual imprint Deep left on their lives.

Deep Azure opened at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse to great critical acclaim, praised as a 'tantalising glimpse of Boseman’s writing talent’ (Financial Times), and a ‘true achievement that must be seen by any theatre lover’ (Reviews Hub).

Director Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu says: “I am so thrilled! The responses to this production so far have been so engaging and powerful. Deep Azure’s audiences have been vocal and immersed in our story and I am so excited to continue doing that for a little longer.”

Globe Artistic Director Michelle Terry says: “Art makes it bearable to ask some of the hardest questions and face some of the most painful issues. This play, this production, this company, and this moment have alchemised to make a profound and necessary work of art. I am so pleased and so proud that more people have the chance to experience it. It’s really important.”
