J'Ouvert West End show and BBC broadcast: first look

First look photos have been unveiled for the award-winning piece J'Ouvert, set to be broadcast this evening on the BBC ahead of its West End run.

Annice Boparai (Trojan Horse), Gabrielle Brooks (Twelfth Night), Sapphire Joy (Our Country's Good) and DJ Zuyane Russell lead this piece, set during Notting Hill carnival in 2017.

The production of James Tait Black Award-winner Yasmin Joseph's debut play is also the directorial debut of actor Rebekah Murrell (Nine Night), and is designed by Sandra Falase in collaboration with Chloe Lamford, with lighting design by Simisola Majekodunmi, sound design by Beth Duke, movement by Shelley Maxwell and casting by Isabella Odoffin.

The piece will be broadcast tonight as part of BBC Four's Lights Up season – and will also be available on BBC iPlayer, ahead of its live run in June.

The show is part of the Re:Emerge season of plays – which you can get tickets for now.
