Locked In

A hip hop drama for youth and adult audiences by Fin Kennedy.

Directed by Angela Michaels
Music by DJ Billy Biznizz
Rap by Chris Chang
Choreography by Sean Graham
Designed by Yasuko Hasegawa

On the 20th floor of an abandoned East End tower block, Blaze (a Caribbean MC) and Tariq (a Bengali DJ) rip up the airwaves on a leading pirate station. Their last CD was a massive hit and they’re all set to hit the big time with their first live set at Exile FM’s birthday bash coming up. Then Zahida comes into their lives and cracks begin to appear in their friendship.

When a local gangster asks Blaze for a serious favour, suddenly there’s a choice to be made that could split their world wide open. Locked In is a powerful three-hander by multi-award-winning writer Fin Kennedy. It was developed in direct contact with young people to ensure authentic language, and portrays diverse cross-cultural inner-City life and characters, enderscored with a contemporary soundtrack by international music artist DJ Billy Biznizz.

This highly anticipated revival of the smash production re-unites the original creative team led by director Angela Michaels, including choreographer Sean Graham and rap artist Chris Chang and framed within Yasuko Hasegawa’s evocative designs.
