Manchester's Moss Side in the 1990s. Where the media only portrays you through the lens of 'Gunchester', gangs and poverty. This Kind of Black (Requiem for Black Boys)  is the powerful new stage show from poet and musician, Reece Williams. It’s about growing up in Manchester’s Moss Side in the 90s, a stone’s throw from conflict and violence. It celebrates a community held together by prayers, warmth and humour, while mourning the tragic loss of young life. It’s about the intersection of race and class, when the media only portrays you through the lens of ‘Gunchester,’ gangs and poverty. Above all the show explores the complex relationship between a gangland father and his son, and the impact of trauma on the mental health of young Black boys across the generations. The show features powerful performance, stunning projected images, lots of humour, and a brilliant soundtrack inspired by the period.
