The stage adaptation of Dave Harris' novel about two characters trapped in a minstrel show.
Tambo and Bones are two friends who grew up in poverty and struggle to find their place in the world as they face challenges such as crime, drugs, and gang violence. Despite these obstacles, Tambo and Bones remain close and support each other as they navigate their difficult lives.
Part clown show, part hip-hop concert, part absurdist Afro-futuristic lecture, 'Tambo & Bones' examines the commodification and commercialization of Black pain in this satirical show.
The Artistic Director of the Actors Touring Company, Matthew Xia, directs this production.
