Written by emerging poet and playwright Jahmar Ngozi in collaboration with Oxford Playhouse, performed by PoetryHouse, and funded by the Arts Council, The Lost Generation will be streamed live on 20 and 21 November through Facebook and YouTube.
Seven actors will live stream via Zoom from their homes, playing some of contemporary culture’s most memorable controversial figures including, Frida Kahlo, Gil-Scott Heron, Charles Bukowski and F. Scott Fitzgerald. The play will also celebrate Basquiat’s life, reimagining the creative process behind his most lucrative painting.
The Lost Generation is set over one day and night, but Basquiat’s past experiences of homelessness, drugs, and racism remain present alongside his newfound success, fame, and fortune.
