Details

For the first time in my life, everything was silent.

A memory: award-winning reggae pioneer Sutara Gayle AKA Lorna Gee – hears her radio debut from Holloway Prison. Another: she's engulfed in the Brixton uprising sparked by the police shooting of her sister. And now she is here, a silent retreat, seeking spiritual guidance from her brother Mooji, Nanny of the Maroons, and a moment of transcendence.

Powered by high-octane musical numbers, virtuoso performance and raucous comedy, The Legends of Them is a breath-taking, roof-raising chronicle of Sutara's singular, extraordinary life – and of the legends that have guided her.

Written by Sutara Gayle AKA Lorna Gee the unmissable The Legends of Them was originally performed by Gayle and directed by Jo McInnes.

This edition was published to coincide with Hackney Showroom's production at London's Royal Court in the Jerwood Theatre Downstairs, in December 2024.
