A meticulously articulate evocation of meaninglessness, with a superb performance that hypnotises and wearies in equal measure.

Tambo (and Bones) has a damn good go at changing the world in this immersively complex, visceral and urgent insight into the Black experience.

Review: Dealer’s Choice, Donmar Warehouse
With top-drawer performances, the Donmar cements its reputation for attracting the finest acting talent. Otherwise, there’s little going for this unremarkable 90s revival.
