Sus
|
A Young Vic/eclipse theatre co-production
by Barrie Keeffe
Directed Gbolahan Obisesan |
| |
|
The 'SUS' laws made it legal for police to stop and search anyone - purely on suspicion.
Election night 1979. Two detectives on the graveyard shift in an East London police station place bets on which party will win.
A black man is picked up at his local pub. He is incensed, believing that he'll be fodder for an incoming government keen to flex its law-and-order muscles.
Sus is a powerful cry against institutional racism. Set on the eve of the Thatcher election victory, this revival coincides with the general election of 2010.
Originally produced at the Young Vic as part of the Jerwood Directors Award 2008.
