Tones – A Hip Hop Opera

by Gerel Falconer

Thu 18 to Sat 20 Jul 2024

A piece of gig theatre like no other.

Tones – A Hip Hop Opera combines the gritty underground sounds of hip-hop, grime and drill with the melodrama of opera to tell the story of a treacherous path to self-discovery.

Tones is from writer and performer Gerel Falconer who won Best Book and Lyrics at the Black British Theatre Awards 2023.

Tones – A Hip Hop Opera follows the pivotal moments in lead character Jerome’s upbringing, from childhood to his departure from university. As he battles with his identity we go on a journey through the depths of Black-British culture, class, and belonging. What happens if you’re not black enough for the ends, but too black for the rest of the world?
