Uprising

Following 2011’s sell-out tour to mark the 30th anniversary of the Brixton riots, award winning author Alex Wheatle MBE is back on the road, with an autobiographical dramatic performance on how he became a writer.

Alex takes the audience on a journey through Britain in the 1980s, from the brutality of children’s homes to life on the ‘frontline’ in riot-torn Brixton and sharing a prison cell with a fierce Rasta-man.

A journey punctuated by the muscular singing of lyrics that made Alex the famous ‘Yardman Irie’ of the Brixton club scene.
