About
An acclaimed, not to be missed performance!
Charles Ignatius Sancho – born on a slave ship on the Atlantic Ocean in 1729, he became a writer, composer, shopkeeper and respected ‘man of letters’ in 18th century London – the first man of African Heritage to vote in Britain.
Sancho & Me is an unmissable storytelling by Paterson Joseph, accompanied by co-creator and musical director Ben Park and delivered directly to the audience and built around Paterson’s recent novel The Secret Diaries of Charles Ignatius Sancho.
Paterson explores ideas of belonging, language, education, slavery, commerce, violence, politics, music, love and where these themes intersect with Paterson’s own story of growing up Black and British.
There will be a special post-show discussion after the performance.
