In this exhilarating, funny and provocative satire, Tambo and Bones journey from comedy double-act, to hip-hop superstars, to activists in a future America, contending with the alarming repercussions of a nation torn apart by race.

Spanning 500 years of history, Tambo & Bones laughs through our past, blows the roof off our present and imagines an explosive future for our world and for theatre.

Tambo & Bones was one of the most talked about cultural events of 2023 when it received its UK premiere at Stratford East. Directed by Matthew Xia, this Made In Northampton co-production opens in Northampton before embarking on its first ever UK tour.

Content warning – This satirical show contains sounds of gunfire, strong language, repeated use of a racial slur, references to ethnic violence and war crimes, and discusses themes some may find upsetting relating to race.

Join the Conversation – Post-Show Discussion with the cast and associate director.
Wednesday 12 March

Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to engage directly with the creative team behind Tambo & Bones! Join Director Matthew Xia,  Associate Director Dubheasa Lanipekun, Jesse Jones, Artistic Director of Royal & Derngate, and some of the cast for a thought-provoking discussion about the show, its themes, and the bold, satirical exploration of race, identity, and revolution.
