A play exploring race, family and misguided loyalty.
It’s 2011 and 1958: London is rioting. Candice is ordered by her gang-leading boyfriend to lure Clint into a honeytrap. Haunted by her grandfather’s mistakes, she stands at a crossroads. Will she do as she’s told, or will she learn to be true to herself before history repeats itself?
The play examines the unrest of summer 2011 against the backdrop of the 1958 race riots in Notting Hill, exploring themes of race, family and misguided loyalty.
Advice for the Young at Heart by Roy Williams was commissioned and produced by Theatre Centre, touring to secondary schools between September 2013 and February 2014.
