THE AFRONAUTS

The Afronauts by Ryan Calais Cameron

“As long as a man can dream, he can push the limits of what’s possible.’”

14 November — 19 December, Royal Court Theatre

Zambia, 1964: the space race has a new contender. 

As the world’s great powers set their sights on the moon, a schoolteacher gathers a group of misfit dreamers and trains them for lift-off. 

The true(ish) story of the Zambian Space Program, and a nation’s defiant dream to reach for the stars. A world premiere from Sky Arts Award-winning playwright Ryan Calais Cameron (For Black Boys, Retrograde).
