ReviewsDyer and Williams have delivered a play we urgently need, and one we'll likely be talking about for years to come, when the closure of London's theatres will be a distant memory, In this furious, funny shout of a play, one black Londoner explores the racism encoded both in British institutions and in his relationships with his white best friend and girlfriend. It's an urgent, timely solo work, performed with firecracker energy and a blend of charm and rage, "Impassioned and insightful" -- The Stage "A blazing performance snuffed out too soon" -- Telegraph "In this furious, funny shout of a play, one black Londoner explores the racism encoded both in British institutions and in his relationships with his white best friend and girlfriend. It's an urgent, timely solo work, performed with firecracker energy and a blend of charm and rage" -- Evening Standard "A commanding physical performance" -- Times "Dyer and Williams have delivered a play we urgently need, and one we'll likely be talking about for years to come, when the closure of London's theatres will be a distant memory" -- Time Out "The writing glitters ... brash and brilliant theatre" -- Guardian

SynopsisMe jumping out of the van, was the beginning of a very bad day for me. I just didn't know it, but I was going to know it, in about four minutes, I was going to know, fer trut. 2020. Delroy is arrested on his way to the hospital. Filled with anger and grief, he recalls the moments and relationships that gave him hope before his life was irrevocably changed. Written in response to their play Death of England, Death of England: Delroy is a new standalone work by Clint Dyer and Roy Williams, which follows a Black working-class man searching for truth and confronting his relationship with White Britain. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere of Death of England: Delroy , at the National Theatre in 2020. The production was the first play to reopen the theatre following the Coronavirus pandemic.
