Tambo & Bones

14 – 24 May 2025

Tambo and Bones are stuck in a minstrel show. It’s hard to know what’s real when you’re stuck in a minstrel show. Their escape plan: get out, get rich, get even.

 

In this exhilarating, funny and provocative satire, Tambo and Bones journey from comedy double-act, to hip-hop superstars, to activists in a future America, contending with the alarming repercussions of a nation torn apart by race.  

Spanning 500 years of history, TAMBO & BONES laughs through our past, blows the roof off our present and imagines an explosive future for our world and for theatre.
