Kit Harington Defends 'Black Out' Nights in West End's 'Slave Play'

The initiative aims to create a welcoming space for Black audiences, despite controversy and criticism.

'Slave Play' features two performances specifically for Black-identifying audiences during its 12-week run.
Former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak criticized the initiative as divisive, while Harington argues it fosters inclusivity.
The first 'black out' night was described by Harington as an 'incredible show' with unique energy.
Co-star Olivia Washington highlighted the significance of seeing a predominantly Black audience in a major London theatre.
The play, which explores themes of race, identity, and sexuality, received 12 Tony nominations on Broadway.
