A
event
held at Bristol Old Vic
on Friday 14th November. The event starts at 20:00.
“For the first time in my life, everything was silent”
A memory: reggae pioneer Sutara Gayle AKA Lorna Gee hears her radio debut from Holloway Prison.
Another: she’s engulfed in the Brixton uprising sparked by the police shooting of her sister.
And now she’s here, at a silent retreat, seeking spiritual guidance from her brother Mooji, and ancestor Nanny of the Maroons, and a moment of transcendence.
Powered by high-octane musical numbers and a virtuoso performance, The Legends of Them is a breath-taking, roof-raising chronicle of Sutara’s singular, extraordinary life – and the legends that have guided her.
