Another West End theatre will hold performances for predominantly-black audiences, despite the Prime Minister's warning that such shows are 'wrong and divisive'.
Blue, a play about the shooting of a black motorist in the US, will have two 'Black Out nights' during its run at the Seven Dials Playhouse this month.
Organisers of the play said the 'special' evenings for 'Black identifying guests' were an attempt to 'shift the norm' of the theatre being 'historically a majority white space'.
