‘Boy Breaking Glass’ to tour in Autumn 2021

We are thrilled to announce that Alesandra Seutin’s hit 2018 work Boy Breaking Glass is set to tour in Autumn 2021. Inspired by the poem ‘Boy Breaking Glass’ by Gwendolyn Brooks, the first Black female poet in the United States to receive a Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, the original 30 minute production was commissioned by Sadler’s Wells as part of a triple bill of works celebrating their 20th anniversary.

The new production, which is being adapted to a 1 hour piece, has been funded by Arts Council England Projects Grant and commissioned in partnership with the Royal Philharmonic Society with funding from the RPS Drummond Fund.

Touring venues will include: Riley Theatre, Leeds; The Place, London; KVS, Brussles.

Dates and booking information to follow.
