★★★★★ “The finest new play about a pivotal moment in civil rights history” – The Telegraph
Following its sold-out run at the Kiln Theatre, Ryan Calais Cameron’s critically acclaimed Retrograde transfers to the Apollo Theatre for a strictly limited run from 8 March. Starring Ivanno Jeremiah (Constellations) as the young Sidney Poitier, this electrifying play explores a defining moment in Hollywood history. Ten years before becoming the first Black man to win the Academy Award for best actor, Poitier faces a career-defining decision: sign a contract that could make him a star—or stay true to his principles in the face of industry pressure.
Directed by the Kiln Theatre’s Amit Sharma, and featuring Stanley Townsend (Netflix’s Kaos) and Oliver Johnstone (Antigone), this powerful drama has been hailed as an “exceptional” (The Guardian) exploration of integrity, ambition, and betrayal.
