BLACK T-SHIRT COLLECTION @ Sydney Writers’ Festival

Click HERE to book tickets.

A searing modern fable about two foster brothers building a global t-shirt brand.

On their journey through the markets of Nigeria, nightclubs of Europe and sweatshops of China, Matthew and Muhammed discover the consequences of success.

Exploring brotherhood, homophobia and global capitalism, Black T-shirt Collection combines lyrical spoken word and animation, and draws on award winning poet, playwright and performer Inua Ellams’ own experiences of growing up in Nigeria, immigration and of living in the UK today.

“…voice sonorous as a steel drum, Ellams’ poetry is gourmet stuff, smooth enough to melt in the ear, yet packed full of snap, crackle and pop” (Time Out)
