Talawa Stories: NSA

A car, a clandestine encounter. Two Black men come to terms with their identities and life trajectories in this explosive drama.

Set within the charged confines of a car, a clandestine encounter between two Black men leads to far more than either had bargained for as they come to terms with their identities and very different life trajectories.

Talawa Theatre Company and feral inc co-produced Running with Lions as part of Talawa’s 35th anniversary. Talawa Theatre Company is the UK’s outstanding Black theatre company.

NSA was recorded in March 2021 during the national lockdown and in line with Covid safe measures. Charles Entsie’s brand new story is brought to life by Don Gilet (Eastenders, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ) and Idris Debrand (MotherFatherSon, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ).
