Abstract

Focalised through the rehearsal process of a reading of At What A Price by the Black British playwright Una Marson, this article looks to create awareness of this particular work and that of other Black playwrights who may be lesser known in, and beyond, the theatre world. There is discussion of the meaning(s) of ‘Black Theatre’, the role of censorship, Britishness, as well as the canon of work available and used in drama schools. Arguments are posited as to how unearthing unpublished plays can embolden, enrich and challenge our notions of theatre, widen participation and aid efforts to decolonise curricula.
