ATTIC THEATRE COMPANY PRESENT 'ALL ROADS' PREMIERE BY PLAYWRIGHT ROY WILLIAMS OBE ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO LOVE, GRIEVE AND BUILD YOUR OWN FUTURE BEING YOUNG AND BLACK BRITISH TODAY

Attic Theatre Company in partnership with Tramshed and in association with Theatre
Peckham and Bernie Grant Arts Centre is proud to announce that they will be presenting
the world premiere of Roy Williams' new play 'ALL ROADS'.

'If only he knew. If only he listened.'
A tragic event. Two young Black lives are blown apart. In the madness of grief, Matthew
and Chantel are drawn together. As the clouds begin to clear they wonder what their shared
future might hold.
'ALL ROADS' explores what it means to love, grieve and build your own future, being young
and Black British today.
"Roy Williams' plays explore the fault lines of Britain's multi-cultural society with rare
dramatic power and precision"
Daily Telegraph
On the partnership, Jonathan Humphreys Attic's Artistic Director and joint CEO said
"We're so excited to be able to announce this project which we have been developing for
past couple of years with Roy Williams. Central to our vision is touring work to new, diverse
audiences in London and across the UK. Producing a world premiere from Roy and touring it
to four leading venues across London is a fantastic project for us. We cannot wait to share
this beautiful new play with audiences."
Director Anastasia Osei Kuffour (Typical, Soho Theatre) said "I'm excited to be directing this
production because I love the interweaving and dynamic way Roy has written this play and
the fact that it centres on two global majority young people navigating what it means to be
Black, young and in love - all themes I'm drawn to as a young Black woman myself."
The two-hander play will feature actors Kudzai Mangombe (Malindadzimu, Hampstead
Theatre) and Tristan Waterson (The Spine, 20 Stories High). The creative team will include
Zahra Mansouri, Set Designer; Jonathan Chan, Lighting Designer and Khalil Madovi, Sound
Designer. The Company have focused heavily on ensuring that the strong diversity of the
cast and creative team is extended into the technical team pushing for the production to be
an exemplary representation of the creative case for diversity.
The show will tour in March 2023 to Tramshed, New Wimbledon Theatre Studio, Theatre
Peckham and Bernie Grant Arts Centre and tickets can be purchased at the venues box
