A new play exploring the lives of two rising Ghanaian creatives is coming to a theatre in Slough.

DRUM follows photographer James Barnor and broadcaster Mike Egan as they navigate identity, success, and assimilation in London.

Written by Jacob Roberts-Mensah and actress and spoken word poet Sarah Amankwah, the play fuses storytelling, music, and dance with archival material to depict 1960s London.

Mr Roberts-Mensah is known for his work across theatre and audio, while Ms Amankwah has performed at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and appeared in productions like the Lion King and Black Earth Rising.

Tickets for the performance are priced at £15, with a concession rate of £12.
