Tambo & Bones

Tambo and Bones are stuck in a minstrel show.

It's hard to know what's real when you're stuck in a minstrel show.

Their escape plan: get out, get rich, get even.

Join us as one of the most talked-about cultural events of 2023 returns to Stratford East. In this exhilarating, funny and provocative satire, Tambo and Bones journey from comedy double-act, to hip-hop superstars, to activists in a future America, contending with the alarming repercussions of a nation torn apart by race.

Spanning 500 years of history, TAMBO & BONES laughs through our past, blows the roof off our present and imagines an explosive future for our world and for theatre.
