Here’s a play you might enjoy 22stein it’s got a Nogwegian in it
>Slave Play, a theatre production about race, identity and sexuality in twenty-first century America, is coming to the West End, reserving two nights for an "all-Black identifying audience".
>That's me. I'm half Norwegian, half Togolese, and look mixed enough that charity salespeople by the Tube often try to guess where I'm from as an opener. Since moving to London, I've rarely felt alienated thanks to the incredible diversity in this place.
>People will often react with surprise when I say I'm Norwegian, but that's fair enough - I'm hardly the stock image of a Viking. Despite being 'only half Black', I am so aware of how racist society still is.
>I love the theatre, but I don't love being one of the only Black people in a white audience. It doesn't matter how far we've come - that won't ever feel safe to me, and it certainly doesn't feel safe to someone with darker skin than me.
>The narrative that minorities are too quick to be hurt, too quick to complain, too quick to anger - it's not only upsetting, it's dangerous. That image diminishes the sufferings of not only Black people, but any other group that has dared speak up for their rights.
>Some might bemoan the 'Black Out night' saying it's not necessary. But when the supposed leader of the country ignores its message so completely, he is only proving that we need these nights more than ever. After all, change never came from compliance.
