Retrograde

Sidney Poitier: outstanding actor, trail blazer, activist, icon. The first black artist to win an Oscar for Best Actor.

Ryan Calais Cameron’s gripping thriller captures the moment when a young Sidney Poitier is about 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?

Retrograde follows Ryan’s smash West End hit For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When the Hue Gets Too Heavy - so good it sold out twice - first at the Apollo in 2023, returning swiftly by public demand to the Garrick in 2024.

Civil Rights History well- written & performed
I recently explored Georgia & Alabama (southern states of USA) for a guided Civil Rights Tour & Retrograde is a painful but wonderful play that features the daily, personal challenge of civil rights leaders. Thank you to actors & creative team.
