Following its sold out run at the Kiln Theatre, Ryan Calais Cameron's 'electrifying' (Evening Standard) Retrograde comes to the Apollo Theatre for a strictly limited run.Ten years before he becomes the first Black man to win the Oscar for Best Actor, this gripping drama captures the moment a young Sidney Poitier prepares to sign a career-defining Hollywood contract that could make him a star. But there’s a catch. Will he put his career before his principles? In a time of betrayals, will he name names? Will he sign his life away?
Inspired by real events, this 'exceptional' (The Guardian) play directed by the Kiln Theatre's Artistic Director Amit Sharma, features Ivanno Jeremiah (Constellations) reprising his 'tremendous' (Time Out) performance as Sidney Poitier, opposite Stanley Townsend (Netflix's Kaos) and Oliver Johnstone (Antigone).
