Official Death of England: Delroy Post-Show Talk | National Theatre

Watch Ola Animashawun (NT Associate), Clint Dyer (Co-Writer and Director), Roy Williams (Co-Writer) and Michael Balogun (Delroy) in a post-show talk about Death of England: Delroy. They discuss making theatre under Coronavirus restrictions and reflect on the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020.

Death of England: Delroy is an ‘urgent, timely solo work, performed with firecracker energy’ (★★★★ Evening Standard) by actor Michael Balogun. The play explores a Black working class man searching for truth and confronting his relationship with Great Britain.

Death of England: Delroy was the first live production at the National Theatre since closing its doors due to Coronavirus. In October 2020, new national Coronavirus measures sadly meant the production was forced to close mid-way through its run.

The play was filmed at its opening and closing night on Wednesday 4 November.

Death of England: Delroy is streaming for free from 7pm UK time on Friday 27 November. It will be available on demand until 7pm UK time on Saturday 28 November. You need to start watching by 5.30pm on Saturday to be able to watch it all.
