Part of the Housemates Festival at Brixton House, Limp Wrist & The Iron Fist will run from 9 – 12 October 2024.
Set in London, a community rich with cultural history and diversity, the show spotlights voices overlooked in mainstream theatre.
The show forces the audience to think about what identity means. Limp Wrist & The Iron Fist aims to empower young Black gay men and embrace their culture, race, religion, and sexuality. It also presents the reality of a real male body.
“I want to enhance the audience’s understanding of gay identity in the Black community by demonstrating the difficulties each character faces whilst they take us on their individual and shared journeys.“
Emmanuel Akwafo, writer
The show deals with strong themes, including racism, homophobic discrimination, and racist stereotypes. The characters discuss experiences of sexism, toxic relationships and violence, including sexual abuse, child abuse and irreligion. There are themes of suicide throughout. This show holds nothing back.
Limp Wrist & The Iron Fist runs from 9 – 12 October 2024 at Brixton House, 385 Coldharbour Lane, Brixton, London SW9 8GL, United Kingdom.
