Description

Mr Parks, this isn’t just a movie, it’s a whole movement.

Whether you like it or not is irrelevant. The Golden Age of Hollywood. Behind closed doors, aspiring actor Sidney Poitier is offered a lucrative contract that could make him a superstar.

But what is he willing to sacrifice?From the writer of the award-winning, smash hit For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When the Hue Gets Too Heavy, Ryan Calais Cameron’s explosive play Retrograde explores identity, resilience and integrity as it examines a true event in 1950s Hollywood and the reality of a Black actor’s journey to stardom.

This world premiere explores a moment in a career which paved ways and changed perceptions, cementing the legacy of a Hollywood icon.

Retrograde asks the question: how much have we really evolved?This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at London's Kiln Theatre, in April 2023.
