Les Blancs

An African country teeters on the edge of civil war. A society prepares to drive out its colonial present and claim an independent future. Racial tensions boil over. Tshembe, returned home from England for his father’s funeral, finds himself in the eye of the storm. Yaël Farber directs the final play by Lorraine Hansberry - a brave, illuminating and powerful work that confronts the hope and tragedy of revolution. Filmed live at the National Theatre's Olivier Theatre in 2016.
