Bush Theatre reveals new six-part series "The Protest" in response to the killing of George Floyd
You can watch the full series below, with the Bush Theatre associate director Daniel Bailey, who curated The Protest series said: "The Bush kneels with the black community at home and aboard as we fight the ongoing pandemic – racism and the oppression of Black People. We asked some of our Bush family to lift their voices in a myriad of ways that mirrors the diversity within the Black community… And this is the result: The Protest. Black Lives Matter."
We'll be releasing six expressions of protest this afternoon. Here's why. pic.twitter.com/9rWP0KCcf2
