Black company pulls out of Birmingham theatre over Nightingale court

Stage | The Guardian: Talawa, established as the first professional black theatre company in Britain in 1986, was due to stage a “Black Joy” season at Birmingham Rep. But it said it was forced to pull out after the theatre announced its decision, along with the library of Birmingham, to hire out spaces to the Ministry of Justice for court cases from December 2020 to June 2021.
