Description

Join Elz, Jams, Toni and Jaime, living in a hostel and battling impossible odds, as they confront the realities of our class system through live rap, trap and drill. As the dynamics of the hostel shift, all four struggle to get by, rapping the things they can't bring themselves to say. The voice of the voiceless speaks in rhyme. Rapsody is a raw look at inner-city life in Britain today. Recipients of the Pleasance Charlie Hartill Theatre Reserve. Previous praise: 'Electrifying' **** (@TheatreReviewsUK). 'An intense energy... compelling to watch' **** (LoveLondonLoveCulture.com).
