Retrograde – The Apollo Theatre

Hollywood’s so-called Golden Age. Ten years before becoming the first Black man to win an Oscar, a young Sidney Poitier arrives to sign a life-changing contract that could make him a star. But there’s a catch. As he becomes entangled in events larger than he imagined, Sidney is forced to make an impossible choice - one that will reshape his future, the Civil Rights Movement, and the soul of a nation.
Backed by double Oscar and BAFTA nominee Colman Domingo as producer, Amit Sharma’s ‘perfectly pitched production’ (Independent) stars Ivanno Jeremiah, Stanley Townsend and Oliver Johnstone as ‘an ensemble operating at its peak’ (WhatsOnStage).
